You can easily change your culture in Evony: The King’s Return by going to your settings, however, it costs approximately 2000 gems to change it.
Overview
Evony: The King’s Return is an adventurous mobile game that consists of role-playing, strategising, and many more exciting elements.
As the name suggests, it is based on the popular game, Evony, which allows you to enjoy similar content and gameplay on your mobile phone. This game is set in a persistent world in medieval times.
When you first start playing the game, you will have the opportunity to select your desired culture. The game currently consists of 7 cultures for you to choose from. Please remember that each culture features its own benefits, which can have a direct influence on your gameplay.
What is a culture?
Cultures allow players to customise their game’s architectural style. That being said, each culture has its own unique features, benefits and buffs. Some cultures boost your research speed, while others increase your mounted troops’ attacks.
Many players struggle to choose a culture as each one has unique properties. The best culture for any player depends on where they are in the game. This means that some cultures offer great endgame benefits that may not be beneficial to a player that is early in the game.
It is thus recommended that you carefully select your culture when you first start playing the game. However, if you later realise that you made the wrong choice, you can easily change your culture.
How to change culture in Evony
The game offers all players a free culture change token at the beginning of the game. If you want to change your culture more than once, you will have to pay 2000 gems. Please note that gems can be obtained in various ways, such as purchasing them with real life money.
To change cultures, you must select the button with 3 dots, which is located on the game’s main screen. A pop-up menu will appear on the screen, and you will see various options. After clicking on “Settings”, you will see a list of different sub-categories.
Scroll down until you find the Change Culture option. You will then be able to select a new culture. It is advised that you determine your culture by your location in the game. This is because some cultures provide better benefits and buffs to early, mid and endgame players.

What are the best cultures in the game?
Many players believe that China and Europe are the best cultures in the game. This is because Europe is great for early and mid game players as it helps with boss fights. It can also be beneficial when you have to upgrade expensive buildings in endgame content.
China is good for resource production as well as training large numbers of troops. That being said, selecting either China or Europe as your culture can make your gameplay a bit easier.
How to obtain gems
You need to obtain gems to change your culture more than once. Luckily, there are multiple ways to obtain gems.
The most common is to get free gems by collecting them in the gem mine, but this method is not recommended because it consumes a lot of stamina, and you cannot hunt monsters or collect other resources during that time.
It is thus advised that you collect gems through the daily logins, offerings and by completing all the monarch competition stages. Alternatively, you can join the Battle of Constantinople or the Battle of Gaugamela.
