What would be the best method of saving the position and direction of multiple of the same/different active objects, for example buildings in a SimCity type project? I have a basic understanding on how to use the ini object, I'm just not sure how to go about this.

I wouldn't use an Ini file. Assuming it's grid-based like SimCity, an array is definitely the way to go.
The X and Y offset would represent the X and Y grid positions, and the Z offset would be the type of info to store (eg. 0=building type, 1=pollution, 2=happiness, 3=something else...)
eg. ValueAtXYZ( "Array", 4, 5, 1)
...would return the pollution level at grid position 4,5

I always use arrays, much more scope regarding what can be done (with ease) plus they are more secure. I fully agree with Sketchy
