Napoleon Bonaparte, a staple of the Civilization series, is making a grand return in *Civilization 7* (*Civ 7*). Unlocking him as a leader, however, involves a few extra steps that you need to follow. Whether you're aiming for his Emperor or Revolutionary Persona, we've got you covered with a detailed guide on how to get Napoleon in *Civ 7*.
How to Get Napoleon, Emperor
Unlocking the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civilization 7* is straightforward and involves creating a 2K Account. Here's how you can do it:

That's all you need to do to unlock the Emperor Persona for Napoleon in *Civ 7*. This version of Napoleon specializes in commerce and military might, featuring a unique ability called Empereur des Francais. The description for this ability states: "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."
Additionally, the Emperor Persona for Napoleon follows an agenda called the Napoleonic Code. This means his relationship improves with the player who has the smallest standing army but worsens with the player who has the largest standing navy.
How to Get Napoleon, Revolutionary
If the Emperor Persona doesn't suit your gameplay style, you can also unlock Napoleon's Revolutionary Persona. To do this, you must have previously played *Civilization 6*. Follow these steps:
- Link your 2K Account to your game, ensuring you connect both *Civ 6* and *Civ 7*.
- Once you start *Civ 7*, the Revolutionary Persona for Napoleon will be 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 focuses on culture and militaristic strategies, featuring an ability called La Grande Armee. The description for this ability is: "+1 Movement for all Land Units. Defeating an enemy Unit provides Culture equal to 50% of its Combat Strength."
This version of Napoleon follows an agenda called Culture from Conquest. He dislikes leaders with numerous alliances but gets a relationship bonus with the player who has the highest Culture Per Turn.
And that's how you can unlock Napoleon in *Civilization 7*, adding a dynamic leader to your gameplay experience. Whether you choose the Emperor or Revolutionary Persona, Napoleon's unique abilities and agendas will significantly impact your strategy and interactions within the game.
