Unlock Napoleon in Civ 7: Free Leader Guide

Napoleon Bonaparte, a stalwart figure in the *Civilization* series, makes a grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). However, unlocking him as a leader involves a few extra steps. Here's a detailed guide on how to get Napoleon in two distinct personas: the Emperor and the Revolutionary.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* is straightforward and requires you to create a 2K Account. Follow these steps:

1. Visit portal.2k.com.
2. Log in to your existing account or sign up for a new one.
3. Link your 2K Account to the platform you're using by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.

Once you've completed these steps, you'll unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This leader excels in commerce and military might, boasting 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, you gain +8 Gold per Age for every leader you are Unfriendly or Hostile with, and you can reject Endeavors for free.

The Emperor Persona for Napoleon 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 who has the largest standing navy.

How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary

If the Emperor Persona doesn't suit your playstyle, you can unlock Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona. To do this, you must have previously played *Civilization 6*. Follow the same process to link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you link both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*. Upon booting up *Civ 7*, you'll find the Revolutionary Persona available.

Note that you don't need to have played *Civ 6* on the same platform as *Civ 7* for this to work.

The Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader 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.

The Revolutionary Persona follows an agenda called Culture from Conquest, which means he dislikes leaders with numerous alliances but enjoys a relationship bonus with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.

And that's how you can unlock Napoleon in *Civilization 7*, whether you prefer his Emperor or Revolutionary Persona.
