Gedemo Napoleon

Command France with Napoleon Bonaparte in Civilization VI

Prepare to lead the French civilization to glory under a new banner with the Gedemo Napoleon mod for Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. This compelling modification introduces Napoleon Bonaparte as an alternative leader, offering a distinct playstyle and strategic advantages for those who wish to experience French leadership through a different historical lens.

A New French Commander

This mod reimagines the French civilization by replacing Catherine de Medici with the iconic military strategist, Napoleon Bonaparte. While the art for Napoleon is provided by Vincent Ducatel, it’s important to note that the leader animations are not included in this package. This mod is designed to be compatible with the latest expansions, including New Frontier, Gathering Storm, Rise and Fall, and the base game, though it requires the Rise and Fall expansion and the Persia/Macedon DLC to function correctly.

Napoleon’s Unique Strengths

Embrace the “Grande Armée” trait, which significantly impacts your military capabilities. Units benefit from a reduced maintenance cost of -1, allowing for a larger and more sustainable standing army. Furthermore, upon researching the “Military Science” technology, you’ll unlock an additional Military Policy card slot, granting you greater flexibility in your governance and wartime strategies. Napoleon also streamlines the construction of military infrastructure, enabling Encampment districts to be built in half the usual time. This accelerates your ability to train powerful units and bolster your defenses.

Leader Agenda: Napoleonic Wars

Napoleon’s agenda, “Napoleonic Wars,” encourages a particular approach to diplomacy and conflict. He favors civilizations that are engaged in wars with powers other than France, reflecting a desire for strategic global instability that France can exploit. Conversely, he dislikes civilizations that maintain peace, seeing them as stagnant and missing opportunities for expansion.

Key Features of the Gedemo Napoleon Mod:

• Napoleon Bonaparte as an alternative leader for France.
• Unique “Grande Armée” leader trait: reduced unit maintenance and an extra Military Policy slot.
• Faster Encampment district construction.
• “Napoleonic Wars” agenda encouraging conflict.
• Includes support for various popular large map mods.
• Available in both English and French.

The mod also includes some cosmetic changes, such as replacing the capital city with Paris and altering some city names to more historically significant ones. The Great General unit has been replaced with La Fayette. For players who enjoy the strategic depth of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and are looking for new ways to lead their chosen civilization, the Gedemo Napoleon mod offers a fresh and engaging experience.
