Unlocking Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization 7: A Guide to Two 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. This guide details how to acquire both his Emperor and Revolutionary personas.
Unlocking the Emperor Napoleon Persona
To unlock Napoleon's Emperor 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! The 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, imposes significant relationship penalties, and increases the cost of rejecting the sanction. 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 the Revolutionary Napoleon Persona
Prefer Napoleon's Revolutionary persona? Simply having played Civilization 6 unlocks this version.
- Follow the steps above to link your 2K account to Civ 7. Ensure your Civ 6 game is also 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 "La Grande Armee" ability: +1 movement for all land units, and defeating an enemy unit grants culture equal to 50% of its combat strength.
His agenda, "Culture from Conquest," dislikes leaders with many alliances but rewards players with the highest culture per turn.
This completes your guide to unlocking Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization 7. Choose your preferred persona and conquer!
