Today was the first time that the New Regio Cups for Hellas and Iran have been played – take your chance!
A small reminder: Regio cups require four participants, otherwise it’s too easy to collect the trophies.

The next KiO update comes on may 5th with the following changes:

Acceleration of building sites with ruby

Mostly interesting for beginners this allows to build up your team infrastructure faster. Ruby cost per acceleration (6 hours) depends on the remaining building time and starts at 1 ruby.

Rename Player item

The shop will start to offer a rename player item for 39 ruby. You will be able to rename players you owned from their „birth“ only to avoid confusion. This means that you can rename players you got from the academy, the shop or from your initial squad (if you still have one), but not players from the market. Well-established rules apply: Names of existing players are not allowed, but you may modify those names slightly, so a „Leo Messy“ definitly is allowed. All name requests will be reviewed manually as for team and stadium names, so this can take some hours.

Achievement rewards

Whenever you get a new achievement medal, you will also receive a free item. A surprise item for each silver medal, a surprise pack for gold, and a treasure for platinum. Please monitor the news ticker to see when this server-side feature is activated. Having downloaded the latest update does not enable the items!

Reworked pre match phase

The phase before a match starts has been reworked completely on Android. Look:

Not only the countdown clock looks nicer – it also shows up in the header of each screen (on the main screen in the team info box). You will be able to switch screens freely, and return to the pro match screen any time! This will make playing much more straightforward and gives you flexibility.

Furthermore, at least to crash or hangup bugs have been fixed in the Android version.

Please note that the ios version is delayed until further notice, but ios users will also receive the achievement rewards as this is a server-side feature. The Windows version will show up shortly.

We are sure that the new version will impress you. As a side note, Kick it out celebrates 6th birthday end of may, and we’ll bring more exciting improvements to the game on this occasion.

And yet a new Happy Hour, which we want to test:
„Clan Matches“: 50% chance of a special collectible when playing against a Clan buddy.

NOTE: Both teams get the reward, not only one team – as known by the clan Challenge.

As announced last week, we try this week again a new Happy Hour:
„Friendship“: +1 (random, simple) picture collection for each managers
NOTE: Both teams get the reward, not only one team – as known by the Friendly Challenge.

Mainly for beginners interesting, but a major innovation:
From now on it is possible to accelerate construction buildings with rubies instead K $.
This allows beginners to build the necessary buildings faster.

Starting tonight, we replace the Bot Cup Happy Hours by Tactics League tournaments. In Tactics Leagues, the enhanced rock paper scissors ratios are applies. Good opportunity to test the new 3-5-2 formation!

Check out the new formation: 3-5-2.

This is a second „paper-formation“ (good against 541 and 4231), which is stronger than 343 because it produces fewer counter attacks and thus fewer surprises against counterattack tactics.
In addition, 352 is better suited to the label „controlled defensive“, which should always represent the paper tactics.

Have fun testing the new formation!
