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 accessing 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 gaming 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 significant relationship penalties, 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 the Emperor persona doesn't suit you, unlock the Revolutionary Napoleon persona by proving your Civilization 6 experience.
- Follow the steps above to link your 2K account to Civ 7.
- Ensure your Civ 6 game is also linked to your 2K account.
You don't need to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7. Upon launching Civ 7, Revolutionary Napoleon will be available.
Revolutionary Napoleon is a cultural/militaristic leader with the "La Grande Armee" ability: +1 movement for all land units, and defeating an enemy unit yields culture equal to 50% of its 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 in Civilization 7, regardless of your preferred persona.
