Age of Wonders 4: All Types of Affinities

Affinities are like the Skills of your Society/Faction that you will choose depending upon which route you want to take for your society. When you select the Tome at the start of your gameplay, you will be basically choosing an affinity path for your society. Each Tome gives out 2 Points for a certain Affinity Type so, choosing Tomes will also play an important role in which affinity you want to spend points.

In this guide, we’ll be telling you all types of Affinities in Age of Wonders 4.

When you have created your faction and selected a magic class of your society, you will be given two points in that current affinity type. If you have chosen a Tome of Nature, you will have 2 Affinity Points in Nature Affinity and it goes the same for the rest of the Affinities. Now, as you progress in the game by completing the missions, you will get access to higher tiers Tomes which will give more points in the respected affinities.
