    It doesn’t. They mentioned there would be a unique skin for Napoleon if you signed up but it didn’t sound required.

      Ah, so that’s why your leader now appears when you are communicating with a different civ. They had to add this for bullshit skins monetization.

      Edit: I wonder if this will be moddable: I now wanna see Master Chief teabagging Cleopatra when I declare war

        It’s the same as civ 6. Having a 2k account gave an extra leader for Rome, all leaders have unique abilities, it’s not just cosmetic.

        It is probably moddable as custom leaders were possible in civ 6

      The steam page literally says that it requires a 3rd party account for online play (just not required for offline play). so I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referencing.
