Unlock Napoleon for Free in Civ 7: A Guide

Napoleon Bonaparte, a staple in the *Civilization* series, makes a grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). To unlock him as a leader, you'll need to follow specific steps, depending on which version of Napoleon you want to play with. Let's dive into how you can get both the Emperor and Revolutionary Personas of Napoleon in *Civ 7*.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* is straightforward. All you need to do is create a 2K Account. Here's how you can 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 you've completed these steps, you'll unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon specializes in commerce and military might, featuring a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. This ability grants a Unique Sanction, the 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. Additionally, you'll 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 comes with an agenda called the Napoleonic Code, which influences his relationships. He has better relations with players who have the smallest standing army and worse relations 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 instead. To do this, you need to have played *Civilization 6* previously. Follow these steps:

• Link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you link both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*.
• Once linked, launch *Civ 7*, and 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 focuses on cultural and militaristic strategies, featuring an ability called La Grande Armee. This ability grants +1 Movement for all Land Units and provides Culture equal to 50% of the defeated enemy Unit's Combat Strength.

Additionally, the Revolutionary Persona has an agenda called Culture from Conquest. He dislikes leaders with many alliances but enjoys a relationship bonus with players who have the highest Culture Per Turn.

That's how you can unlock and play with Napoleon in *Civilization 7*. Whether you choose the Emperor or Revolutionary Persona, Napoleon's strategic abilities can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.
