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 unlocking him requires a few extra steps depending on which persona you desire.
Unlocking Emperor Napoleon:
To unlock the Emperor Napoleon persona, you need a 2K account. Follow these simple steps:
- Visit portal.2k.com. Log in to your existing account or create a new one.
- Link your 2K account to your Civ 7 platform via Connections -> Account Overview.
That's it! Emperor Napoleon, a leader specializing in commerce and military strength, is now available. His unique ability, "Empereur des Francais," grants a unique sanction ("Continental System") reducing targeted leaders' trade route limits, imposing a significant relationship penalty, and increasing the cost of rejection. He also gains +8 gold per age for each unfriendly or hostile leader. He can reject Endeavors for free.
His agenda, "Napoleonic Code," favors players with the smallest standing army and dislikes those with the largest standing navy.
Unlocking Revolutionary Napoleon:
If you prefer the Revolutionary Napoleon persona, you'll need to have previously played Civilization 6.
- Follow the steps above to link your 2K account to Civ 7.
- Ensure your Civ 6 game is also linked to your 2K account.
Upon launching Civ 7, Revolutionary Napoleon will be unlocked. Note: You don't need to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7.
Revolutionary Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader with the ability "La Grande Armee," granting +1 movement to all land units and providing culture equal to 50% of a defeated enemy unit's 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, whichever persona suits your strategic preferences, in Civilization 7.
