Napoleon Bonaparte, a beloved figure in the *Civilization* series, is set to make a grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). To recruit this iconic leader, players need to follow some specific steps, depending on which version of Napoleon they wish to unlock.
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 do it:
- Visit portal.2k.com. Log in if you already have an account, or sign up for a new one.
- Link your 2K Account to the platform you're using by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.
Once these steps are completed, you'll have access to the Emperor Persona of Napoleon. This leader excels in commerce and military prowess, with a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. This ability grants a Unique Sanction known as the Continental System, which:
- Reduces the Trade Route limit of the targeted Leader to all other Leaders by 1.
- Causes a massive Relationship penalty.
- Costs more to reject.
- Provides +8 Gold per Age for every Leader you are Unfriendly or Hostile with.
- Allows you to reject Endeavors for free.
The Emperor Persona also follows the Napoleonic Code agenda, which means he has 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 doesn't suit your playstyle, you can unlock the Revolutionary Persona of Napoleon. Here's how:
- Ensure you have previously played *Civilization 6*.
- Follow the steps above to link your 2K Account to your game platform, making sure to link both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*.
- Upon starting *Civ 7*, the Revolutionary Persona will be available to you.
Note that it's not necessary to have played *Civ 6* on the same platform as *Civ 7* for this to work.
The Revolutionary Persona of Napoleon focuses on culture and militarism, with an ability called La Grande Armee. This ability provides:
- +1 Movement for all Land Units.
- Culture equal to 50% of an enemy unit's Combat Strength upon defeating it.
Additionally, the Revolutionary Persona follows the Culture from Conquest agenda, which means he:
- Dislikes leaders with many alliances.
- Has a relationship bonus with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.
With these steps, you'll be able to harness the power of Napoleon Bonaparte in *Civilization 7*, whether you choose his Emperor or Revolutionary Persona.
