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 the Emperor Napoleon Persona
To unlock Napoleon's Emperor Persona, you need a 2K account. Follow these simple steps:
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
If the Emperor persona isn't your style, you can unlock Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona. This requires having previously played Civilization 6.
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.
The Revolutionary 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 many 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.
