Acquire Napoleon, the Renowned Leader, in Civilization VII

Unlocking Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization 7: A Guide to Two Personas

Napoleon Bonaparte, a staple of the Civilization franchise, returns in Civilization 7 (Civ 7), but accessing him requires a few extra steps depending on the persona you desire.

Unlocking Emperor Napoleon:

To unlock the Emperor Napoleon persona, you need a 2K account. Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit portal.2k.com. Log in to your existing account or create a new one.
2. Link your 2K account to your Civ 7 platform via Connections -> Account Overview.

That's it! Emperor Napoleon, a leader specializing in commerce and military strength, is now available. His unique ability, "Empereur des Francais," grants a unique sanction ("Continental System"), reducing the trade route limit of a targeted leader, imposing a significant relationship penalty, and increasing the cost of rejecting the sanction. He also gains +8 gold per age for each unfriendly or hostile leader. He can reject Endeavors for free.

His agenda, "Napoleonic Code," favors players with the smallest standing army and dislikes those with the largest standing navy.

Unlocking Revolutionary Napoleon:

If the Emperor persona doesn't suit you, unlock the Revolutionary Napoleon by linking your 2K account to Civ 7 and Civ 6. Prior Civ 6 gameplay is required. It's not necessary to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7.

Revolutionary Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader with the "La Grande Armee" ability: +1 movement for all land units, and defeating an enemy unit grants culture equal to 50% of its combat strength.

His agenda, "Culture from Conquest," favors players with the highest culture per turn and dislikes leaders with numerous alliances.

This completes your guide to obtaining Napoleon in Civilization 7.
