Unlocking Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization 7: A Guide to Both Personas

Napoleon Bonaparte, a series staple, returns in Civilization 7 (Civ 7), but unlocking his two distinct personas requires specific steps.

Unlocking the Emperor Napoleon Persona

To obtain the Emperor Napoleon persona, you must create or link a 2K account:

  1. Visit portal.2k.com. Log in to your existing account or create a new one.
  2. Link your 2K account to your Civ 7 platform via Connections -> Account Overview.

That's it! The Emperor Napoleon excels in commerce and military strength, boasting the unique ability "Empereur des Francais": "Gain a Unique Sanction, 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. +8 Gold per Age for every Leader you are Unfriendly or Hostile with. 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 the Revolutionary Napoleon Persona

For the Revolutionary Napoleon persona, prior Civilization 6 playtime is necessary:

  1. Follow the 2K account linking steps above. Ensure both Civ 6 and Civ 7 are linked. Note: You don't need to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7.

Upon launching Civ 7, the Revolutionary Napoleon will be available.

This Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader with the ability "La Grande Armee": "+1 Movement for all Land Units. Defeating an enemy Unit provides Culture equal to 50% of its Combat Strength."

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

This comprehensive guide ensures you can conquer the world with either version of Napoleon in Civilization 7.
