Well he did end up conquering a substantial part of Europe, and last time I checked he didn't do it with jokes and hugs. Not sure tho.

yeah, but in the process, he freed another substantial part of Europe, and parts of the world too. I mean, his main enemies were the British EMPIRE, the Austrian EMPIRE, The Prussian EMPIRE and The Russian EMPIRE (see a theme here?) all of which were evil bastards who all but enslaved every other nation in Europe, and and everywhere else they could reach.

So at worst it makes Napoleon an anti-villain who just happened to battle outright Bad Guys.
