Any other ways to get affinity?

[Midas]

Tomes and starting affinity are the obvious ones, along with magic victory structures. I would have thought certain wonders might grant affinity, but so far I haven't seen any. I've heard heroes can grant affinity, but if that's true it must be a unique passive some get, because I tested that and didn't get any after hiring a new hero. Is there any other way to get more affinity?

I think your leaders signatures add 1 to whatever affinity they are.

Their own personal affinity, yes, but I'm looking for ways to increase my empire's affinity.

Heroes you recruits can have affinity traits when set as governors.

As far as I know, that only contributes to what resources the town they govern produces. Order generates extra gold, chaos generates extra draft, etc.

both of them are correct, your ruler's signature skills add affinity to your empire, and other heroes can also have passive abilities that add affinity to your empire

Yeah it also increases your empires (which is why I specified leader, I don't think heroes affinity from signatures does)

Hero can add Affinity if assigned as a Governor to a specific city. I think it might need the talent for it though. Like sometimes it says all units they command will get a certain bonus. Sometimes they have "if assigned as governor provide +affinity".

Ah, ruler's affinity. Yes. I guess I could have worked with that if I'd planned it from the beginning, but I don't think there's any way to change the signature abilities now.

Youi can also get some from Event traits, depending on how you answer.

Recruiting heroes that indicate they contribute affinity, contribute empire skill affinity.
