Unlock Napoleon in Civ 7: A Guide

If you're eager to command Napoleon Bonaparte in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*), you're in for a treat. However, unlocking him requires a few specific steps depending on which version of Napoleon you're after. Let's dive into how you can recruit the legendary leader to your empire.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* is straightforward but involves creating a 2K Account. Follow these steps:

• Visit portal.2k.com. Log in if you have an existing account, or sign up for a new one.
• Link your 2K Account to the platform you're playing on by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.

That's all it takes to unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon excels in commerce and military power, featuring a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. This ability grants a Unique Sanction called Continental System, which reduces the Trade Route limit of the targeted leader to all other leaders by 1, imposes a massive Relationship penalty, and costs more to reject. Additionally, Napoleon gains +8 Gold per Age for every leader he's Unfriendly or Hostile with and can reject Endeavors for free.

The Emperor Persona also follows an agenda called the Napoleonic Code, which improves his relationship with the player who has the smallest standing army and worsens it with the player with the largest standing navy.

How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary

If the Emperor Persona doesn't suit your strategy, you can unlock the Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon. To do this, you must have previously played *Civilization 6*. Follow the steps to link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you connect both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*. Once done, the Revolutionary Napoleon will be available when you start *Civ 7*. Note that playing *Civ 6* on the same platform as *Civ 7* isn't necessary for this to work.

The Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon focuses on cultural and militaristic strategies with an 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. This agenda makes him dislike leaders with many alliances but improves his relationship with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.

With these steps, you can now lead Napoleon Bonaparte in *Civilization 7* and shape your empire with his unique abilities and strategies.
