How To Get Leader Napoleon Free in Civilization 7 (Civ 7)

Napoleon Bonaparte, a mainstay of the *Civilization* franchise, returns in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*), but unlocking him requires a few extra steps. There are two versions available: the Emperor and the Revolutionary.

How to Get Napoleon, Emperor

The Emperor Napoleon persona is unlocked by creating (or linking) a 2K account. Follow these simple steps:

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

That's it! You've unlocked the Emperor Napoleon, a leader specializing in commerce and military might. His unique ability, "Empereur des Francais," grants a unique sanction, "Continental System," reducing the trade route limit of a targeted leader, imposing a relationship penalty, and increasing the cost of rejection. It also provides +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.

How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary

Prefer the Revolutionary Napoleon? Simply having played Civilization 6 unlocks this persona. Follow the 2K account linking steps above, ensuring both Civ 6 and Civ 7 are linked. Upon launching Civ 7, he will be available.

Note: You don't need to have played Civ 6 on the same platform as Civ 7.

The Revolutionary 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.

And there you have it—all the ways to acquire Napoleon in Civilization 7!
