This page pertains to the format of the Advisors files within Savegame files.

NOTE: [Start Break] notes the start of a section where there are repeating sections. [End Break] notes the end of the section where there are repeating sections.

Repeating sections can/do exist in multiple locations, and also within an already repeating section in the one file. Where this occurs, this section has been noted by its "Break Number" - For example: 

[Start Break 'Number Here']
...file/section data here...
[End Break 'Number here']
