Rise of Kingdoms: How to Save & Continue Your Game when Changing Devices
If you are planning to change your phone and you would like to carry on your progress in Rise of Kingdoms, that is possible and it’s extremely easy to do.
And today we’re going to talk exactly about that: how to save your game’s progress on a device and continue playing on a new device.
This works if you are playing Rise of Kingdoms on Android and switch to a new Android device, or if you keep the game on the same platform (Android to Android or iOS to iOS).
Right now, it’s not possible to move from Android to iPhone or vice-versa, but hopefully that will become an option in the future.

In order to save your game progress and continue playing RoK on your new device, you have to prepare in advance. If you don’t do this and you uninstall the game or start anew on your other device, you might not be able to continue playing where you left off!
So here is what to do to save your progress on a device and move your game to the other:
1. On the device you want to save your progress in, tap your character’s portrait icon in the upper left corner.
2. Tap the Settings button and in the new window, tap the Account option.

3. There you will have the option to link your account to Facebook or Google:

4. Choose any of these options (or both if you want to be extra-safe, although it’s not really needed) and double check to make sure that the linking has been confirmed (as in the screenshot below where I have my account linked on Facebook).

5. After you have linked your account correctly, quit the game on your device and install Rise of Kingdoms on your new phone.
Next, follow the same steps above to get to the Account options, but instead of “Link” select “Switch”. Use your Facebook or Google account and your game will reload your progress on your new phone.
Note: You don’t have to go through selecting your civilization and the tutorial again. On the civilization selection screen, simply tap the option in the upper right corner to link your previous account.
Until recently, you had to go through the tutorial in order to get access to this option, but this is no longer the case. You can easily make the switch and seamlessly continue your progress on a different device.
And this is it! This is everything you need to do to continue your progress in Rise of Kingdoms if you get a new phone. Hope this is easy to follow and helpful.
Hey The General,
Love all your guides. Big fan too!
Just one quick question on this post as recently, i switch from Apple Iphone X and Ipad to Samsung Note 9.
Based on my understanding, Apple IOS to IOS and Samsung ADR to ADR is fine but not vice verse.
Meaning, if I saved my game data on Samsung Note 9 and wish to port over this on my Ipad (via Facebook), the game on Ipad will be saved as a new data when i “Switch” them after the tutorial.
Please let me know if the dev had fixed this.
Regards

This is false information. You can not switch this game to a different platform. Your accounts stuck on either iOS or Android.
this is true
Same.
I ask to customer service of Rise of Civilization, about to switch from android to iOS because I changed my phone, they told me that it is not possible over different platform and vice-versa.
just tested with ios and android with a fb account and it does not work it logs me into a new account on restore
ya same as me i cant get back my old account
To get back your old account, you have to use same device type in order to restore your saved progress. I.e. if you used IOS / IPhone to create your account then you can only restore on another IOS IPhone / IPad device. Same applied to android devices.
I have an apple Iphone with my account on it, just purchased a samsung Android tablet and Im trying to play the game on the tablet but it wont let me switch accounts, tried numerous times, can you help me please?.

When I log in in the new phone, all of my old private chat is lost. We can not keep all the prior chat, can we?
This article is misleading. It is OFFICIALLY not possible to switch from Android to iOS and vice-versa.
>>>”This works if you are playing Rise of Civilizations on Android and switch to iPhone (or vice-versa)”<<<
this is wrong

I have used the Facebook account to link to game in android. Now I switched to iPhone and after playing for some days when I tried to link it to the same Facebook account thinking it might overwrite my old data from android. The game reloaded for me losing all my data. Is there any way to retrieve it back?
Dear RoK official, I just started playing this game almost a month, why this game there is no deleted characters function ? It’s very beginners fitur for this game like this and why it’s so important you know. I know you’re programmer a lot and have a skill for that so please add function deleted characters in this game. I’m not comfortable because so many characters unused at my account.
