Napoleon Bonaparte, a legendary figure in the *Civilization* series, is set to make a grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). However, unlocking this iconic leader isn't as straightforward as picking him from a menu. Here's how you can bring Napoleon into your game, with two distinct personas to choose from.
How to Get Napoleon, Emperor
Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* requires you to create a 2K Account. Follow these simple steps:
- Visit portal.2k.com.
- Log in to your existing account or sign up for a new one.
- Link your 2K Account to the platform you're using by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.
Once you've completed these steps, you'll have access to the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon focuses on commerce and military might, boasting a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. The ability grants a Unique Sanction, Continental System, which decreases the Trade Route limit of the targeted Leader to all other Leaders by 1, imposes a massive Relationship penalty, and increases the cost to reject. Additionally, you'll earn +8 Gold per Age for every Leader you're Unfriendly or Hostile with, and you can reject Endeavors for free.
Napoleon's Emperor Persona also follows an agenda called the Napoleonic Code, which enhances his relationship with the player who has the smallest standing army and worsens it with the player who has the largest standing navy.
How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary
If the Emperor Persona doesn't suit your strategy, you can unlock Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona. To do this, you need to have previously played *Civilization 6*. Follow the same process to link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you connect both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*. Once you start *Civ 7*, the Revolutionary Napoleon will be available to you.
Note that it's not necessary to have played *Civ 6* on the same platform as *Civ 7* for this to work.
The Revolutionary Persona of Napoleon is tailored for players focusing on cultural and militaristic strategies, with a unique ability called La Grande Armee. This ability provides +1 Movement for all Land Units and grants Culture equal to 50% of an enemy unit's Combat Strength upon defeating it.
Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona follows an agenda called Culture from Conquest, which means he dislikes leaders with many alliances but favors the player with the highest Culture Per Turn.
By following these steps, you can unlock and enjoy playing as Napoleon in *Civilization 7*, whether as the Emperor or the Revolutionary leader, each offering unique strategic advantages to enhance your gameplay experience.
