How To Get Leader Napoleon Free in Civilization 7 (Civ 7)

Unlocking Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization 7: A Guide to Both 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 which persona you desire.

Unlocking the Emperor Napoleon Persona

To unlock Napoleon's Emperor 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 gaming platform via Connections -> Account Overview.

That's it! The Emperor Napoleon, a leader specializing in commerce and military strength, with the unique ability "Empereur des Francais," is now available. This ability grants a unique sanction ("Continental System"), reduces targeted leaders' trade route limits, imposes significant relationship penalties, and increases the cost of rejecting sanctions. It also provides +8 Gold per Age for each unfriendly or hostile leader. Free endeavor rejection is another benefit.

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

Unlocking the Revolutionary Napoleon Persona

Prefer the Revolutionary Napoleon? This persona is unlocked by having previously played Civilization 6.

1. Follow the steps above to link your 2K account to Civ 7.
2. Ensure your Civ 6 game is also linked to your 2K account.

Upon launching Civ 7, the Revolutionary Napoleon will be available. Note: You don't need to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7.

The Revolutionary Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader with the "La Grande Armee" ability: +1 Movement for all Land Units, and defeating an enemy unit yields Culture equal to 50% of its Combat Strength.

His agenda, "Culture from Conquest," disfavors leaders with many alliances but rewards players with the highest Culture Per Turn.

This comprehensive guide ensures you can enjoy playing as Napoleon Bonaparte, in either his Emperor or Revolutionary persona, in Civilization 7.
