"Unlock Napoleon in Civ 7: Free Leader Guide"

Napoleon Bonaparte, a perennial favorite in the *Civilization* series, makes his return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). However, unlocking him as a leader involves a few additional steps, depending on which version of Napoleon you want to play with.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* is straightforward and involves creating a 2K Account. Here's how you can do it:

• Visit portal.2k.com. If you already have an account, log in. If not, sign up for a new one.
• Link your 2K Account to the platform you're playing on by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.

Once these steps are completed, you'll unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon. This version of Napoleon specializes in commerce and military might, with a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. The 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 increases the cost to reject it. 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 also follows the Napoleonic Code agenda, which means Napoleon will have better relationships with players who have the smallest standing army and worse relationships with those who have the largest standing navy.

How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary

If the Emperor Persona isn't your style, you can unlock the Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon. To do this, you must have played *Civilization 6* previously. Follow the steps to link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you connect both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*. Once linked, boot up *Civ 7*, and the Revolutionary Napoleon 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 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 the Combat Strength of any enemy unit defeated.

His agenda, Culture from Conquest, means he dislikes leaders with numerous alliances but enjoys a relationship bonus with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.

That's how you can unlock and play with Napoleon in *Civilization 7*, whether you prefer his Emperor or Revolutionary persona.
