"Unlock Napoleon in Civ 7: Free Leader Guide"

Napoleon Bonaparte, a legendary figure in the *Civilization* series, is making a triumphant return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). To unlock him as a leader, you'll need to take a few specific steps. Let's dive into how you can add this iconic leader to your roster.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* involves creating a 2K Account. Here's how you can do it:

1. Visit portal.2k.com.
2. Log in to your existing account or sign up for a new one.
3. Link your 2K Account to the platform you're using by navigating to Connections -> Account Overview.

That's all you need to do to unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon excels in commerce and military might, boasting 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, imposes a massive Relationship penalty, and costs more to reject. Additionally, you 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 follows an agenda called the Napoleonic Code, which improves his relationship with the player who has the smallest standing army and worsens it with the player who has the largest standing navy.

How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary

If the Emperor Persona isn't your style, you can also unlock the Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon. To do this, you need to have previously played *Civilization 6*. Here's how to unlock this version:

1. Follow the same process as above to link your 2K Account to your game.
2. Ensure you link both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7* to your account.
3. Upon booting up *Civ 7*, you'll find the Revolutionary Napoleon Persona 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 is a cultural/militaristic leader with a unique ability called La Grande Armee. This ability provides +1 Movement for all Land Units and grants Culture equal to 50% of an enemy Unit's Combat Strength upon defeating it.

The Revolutionary Persona follows an agenda called Culture from Conquest. This means he dislikes leaders with numerous alliances but enjoys a relationship bonus with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.

And there you have it—how to unlock Napoleon in *Civilization 7*. Whether you choose the Emperor or Revolutionary Persona, you're sure to enjoy the strategic depth that this iconic leader brings to your game.
