What does AIPowerAffinity mean when used in brigade unitfiles?

Basically, It is used to penalise or boost units like Militia that are outside or inside their home state

So for example Virginia Militia has these 2 attributes

HomeArea = $VA
AIPowerAffinity = $VA

So if it is outside VA then it will get penalties as defined in the GameLogic.opt file

// *********************************************************
// ************ HOME AREA PENALTY/BONUS ****************
// *********************************************************
// see HomeArea at the model level

areaOutsideHomeAbi = -1 // -1 level to abies (can render them inactive)
areaOutsideHomeStr = -2 // Strategic
areaOutsideHomeOff = -2 // Offensive
areaOutsideHomeDef = -1 // Defensive
areaOutsideHomeTQ = -3 // TQ (and 5 time that to max cohesion)
areaOutsideHomeMR = 66 // Move Ratio Coeff (x0.66) // [changed 120921 from 0.33]
cohLocalAreaBonus = 10 // bonus to max cohesion if at home

This has more info as it may go beyond my explanation above

If you ask the question in the general section you will probably get a more detailed answer than I can give as the one I gave may relate more to home area whereas the AIPowerAffinity may relate more to how the AI manages militia type units

Thanks!
