Napoleon Bonaparte, a stalwart figure in the *Civilization* series, is making his grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). However, unlocking him as a leader requires a few additional steps. Here’s how you can add Napoleon to your roster, in two distinct personas: Emperor and Revolutionary.
How to Get Napoleon, Emperor
Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* involves creating a 2K Account, which is straightforward. Follow these 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.
That's all you need to do to unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon focuses on commerce and military prowess. He boasts a unique ability called "Empereur des Francais," described as:
"Gain a Unique Sanction, Continental System, which reduces the Trade Route limit of the targeted Leader to all other Leaders by 1, causes a massive Relationship penalty, and costs more to reject. +8 Gold per Age for every Leader you are Unfriendly or Hostile with. Can reject Endeavors for free."
Additionally, the Emperor Persona follows the Napoleonic Code agenda, which means his relationship improves with players who have the smallest standing army, but worsens with those who have 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 so, you must have previously played *Civilization 6*. Follow these steps:
- Link your 2K Account to your game as described above.
- Ensure you link both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7* to your 2K Account.
- Once linked, launch *Civ 7*, and the Revolutionary Persona will be 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 designed as a cultural/militaristic leader with an ability called "La Grande Armee," described as:
"+1 Movement for all Land Units. Defeating an enemy Unit provides Culture equal to 50% of its Combat Strength."
This persona follows the "Culture from Conquest" agenda, disliking leaders with many alliances but favoring those with the highest Culture Per Turn.
And there you have it, a complete guide on how to unlock Napoleon in *Civilization 7* in his Emperor and Revolutionary personas. Happy conquering!
