I'm Here to Answer Questions After 50+ Hours with AoW4

I see in one of your screenshots are society traits not in other previews. I assume those are unlocked through the pantheon system. Can you share the tooltips (Perfectionist Artisans, Talented Collectors, Silver Tongued) or what you remember they do? Did you unlock others in arcane, chaos, and order?

They're not unlocked through the pantheon system, actually. There are a lot of traits that aren't natively associated with a particular form that you can choose in the custom traits options. I won't spoil it too much, but there are quite a few really interesting ones.

Honestly, I don't remember EXACTLY what those traits did, so I can't comment definitively on them. But needless to say, those are just some of the options.

Going to make one small correction here. The three mentioned Society Traits seen in the screenshot are actually Pantheon Unlocks. The answer given by Devildog pertains more to Form Traits then Society Traits.

What do you have to do to unlock new ones?

This bit I can answer since we detailed it elsewhere. For Tomes on Tier 1-3 you need to research two Tomes on the preceeding Tier, these can be of any Affinity. For Tiers 4 & 5 there is an Affinity requirement that needs to be met. Of course whenever you get to pick a new Tome you can also go back and choose one from an earlier Tier.

The rest of the Q's I'll leave for Devil.

I'm a bit curious myself what it means to research tomes to unlock the next. Does it mean before you can pick another tome you have to research everything that tome gives you?

Have a look at our streams, on the research screen you'll see 'Next Tome: X Research Cycles'

As we have affiliation-miced cultures with feudal and babarian, have you seen affiliation-mixed tomes? Either requiring more than one affiliation to research or giving more than one affiliation?

Ah, I can take this one. I've answered elsewhere but there are no mixed Affinity Tomes in the base game.

Shall we not derail this Q&A thread with a discussion on City Management and building? EIther discuss it in the Dev Diary Thread or create a new one, if you wouldn't mind.
