Change Your Civilization in RoK for free
As with many other things, there’s more than one way to change civilizations in RoK. You can either use the free token you get after spending some time in the game, or you can buy additional tokens by spending gems.
You’ve enough time to think about changing civilization until you upgrade your town hall to level 10. When you do, the game will give you a free “Civilization Change Token”. With this token, you can switch to another civilization of your choice and benefit from its effects. Talk to other players in your alliance before making this change. Because civilization changes are often used to fill the gaps in your team. For example, if you lack archers, you can choose the Ottoman Empire.
To switch civilizations in Rise of Kingdoms for free, follow these steps:
- Upgrade your Town Hall to level 10 and receive your Civilization Change Token gift.
- Tap/click your avatar in the upper left corner of the screen.
- You will see your civilization in the upper right corner of the window that opens.
- Tap/click the change icon next to it.
- Finally, select and confirm your new civilization.
That’s it! If you use the token gifted by the game, you do not need to spend any resources.

Change Your Civilization with Gems in RoK
As in all free-to-play games, in Rise of Kingdoms you’ll be able to achieve the things you want faster by spending additional resources. Changing the civilization is one of them.
If you want to change the civilization without upgrading your town hall to level 10, you can use gems for this, which you can also buy with real money. You can also earn these gems over time by completing quests in the game. Use the store and buy the civilization change token for 10,000 gems.
