To protect your progress in Evony, link your Monarch profile to an external service before changing devices or switching between accounts. Unlinked guest accounts are stored locally on your device, meaning clearing app data, uninstalling the client, or performing an operating system update can permanently erase your city.
How to Link Your Evony Account
A third-party account can hold only one Evony profile at a time. Ensure the account you choose is not already attached to another keep before starting.
- Open Evony and tap the Settings gear icon in the bottom-right corner of the city view.
- Select Account from the menu.
- Tap Link Account.
- Select your preferred authentication platform:
- Google Play (Android devices and supported emulators)
- Apple ID / Game Center (iOS and iPadOS devices)
- Facebook (Cross-platform compatibility across iOS, Android, and PC)
- Complete the external authorization prompt.
When successfully linked, the status next to the chosen service will display "Linked."
| Platform Option | Primary Compatibility | Cross-Platform Support |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play | Android devices | Android and Android emulators only |
| Apple ID / Game Center | iOS and iPadOS | Apple ecosystem only |
| Universal | Cross-platform across iOS, Android, and PC |
How to Switch Accounts Safely
Never switch accounts while your active profile is in an unbound guest state. Swapping profiles on an unbound keep overwrites the local save and deletes that city permanently.
- Confirm your current profile displays Linked in the Account menu.
- Tap Switch Account.
- Choose the platform holding the alternate profile you want to load.
- Confirm the prompt stating the current game data will be replaced.
- Allow the game client to restart and load the alternate profile from the cloud.
If the game automatically logs into the wrong profile during a switch, open your device's web browser, log out of all active Google or Facebook sessions, and initiate the switch inside Evony again to prompt a fresh login screen.
Key Information to Save for Account Recovery
If you lose login access or encounter an authorization failure, self-service switching will not work. Restoring your keep through customer support requires external proof of ownership. Record and store the following details outside your gaming device:
- Monarch Name: Exact spelling, capitalization, and any special characters.
- Server (Realm) Number: The specific server hosting your city (e.g., Server 1042).
- Monarch ID / User ID: The unique numerical ID shown on your Monarch Detail or Account screen.
- Keep Level and VIP Level: Your current main building level and VIP tier.
- Purchase Receipts: Official order transaction numbers from Google Play, the Apple App Store, or web payment portals.
Official purchase receipts provide transaction IDs that customer support agents can match directly to server records, making them the most reliable proof of account ownership during manual recovery requests.

This guide answered the exact question I had.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
