| 22 (0x16) | Current Game Year (1999, (0x07CF) for a lot of the time) |
| 24+ (0x18) | Monthly score related values, Jan to Dec (See below) |
These Alien Base and Terror mission numbers may be the wrong way around, because I was at the same number of both in all the saves I have, coincidentally.
Score earned by completing research projects in January increase the value at Offset 24 (0x18) as you complete them, then at the end of the month this value is also increased (by 400 in one example, couldnt find any obvious correlating value to explain that amount yet). Later months are then stored in the later offsets, increasing by two each time.
