Unlock Napoleon for Free in Civ 7: A Guide

Napoleon Bonaparte, a staple figure in the Civilization series, makes a triumphant return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). To unlock him as a leader, you'll need to follow specific steps, depending on which persona of Napoleon you're aiming for.

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:

1. Visit portal.2k.com. If you already have an account, log in. Otherwise, sign up for a new one.
2. Link your 2K Account to the platform you're using by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.

That's all it takes to 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 these steps:

1. Link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you connect both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*.
2. Once you start *Civ 7*, the Revolutionary Persona for 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 and 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 when defeated.

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

With these steps, you can unlock and enjoy playing as Napoleon in *Civilization 7*, whether you prefer his Emperor or Revolutionary persona.
