Some help with modifying SS?

[Quite Absurd]

Basically I'd like to just change the construction time for some buildings and make it 6 months per turn instead of one year.

Would that be possible at all or am I stuck with vanilla SS?

You edit construction times in export_descr_buildings.txt in SS6.3\data. Each building has a construction time (in turns) near the bottom of it's entry. For example:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

gm_woodsmens_guild castle requires factions { england, }
{
capability
{
archer_bonus 2
}
faction_capability
{
archer_bonus 1
}
material wooden
construction 1
cost 3000
settlement_min large_city
upgrades
{
}

You change the timescale in descr_strat.txt in SS6.3\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign. Change it to 0.5 for 6 months per turn (i.e 2 turns per year).
