Conquest is a popular turn-based strategy mode within Diamond Dynasty in MLB The Show 26. Players command their Diamond Dynasty squad to capture territories, defeat rival teams' strongholds, and complete specific map goals. It's a fantastic way to earn valuable rewards while testing your team-building and strategic skills.
Each Conquest map offers a unique layout, challenges, and a set of rewards. These rewards often include Player Items, Stubs, XP, various Pack types (like The Show Packs, Headliners Packs, Ballin' is a Habit Packs, and sometimes unique promotional packs), Equipment, and cosmetic items like Icons or Banners. Many maps also feature hidden rewards scattered across the territories, rewarding thorough exploration.
Our comprehensive guides for each Conquest Map provide detailed strategies, stronghold locations, goal breakdowns, and reveal all hidden rewards to help you conquer every map efficiently. Whether you're chasing a specific City Connect uniform, grinding for XP, or hunting for valuable packs, these guides are your essential resource.

Conquest Maps Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start playing Conquest maps in MLB The Show 26?
Access Conquest mode through the Diamond Dynasty menu under "Play" options. Select any available map to begin. Each map has different objectives, rewards, and difficulty levels. Start with easier maps to learn the mechanics before tackling more challenging seasonal or City Connect maps.
What are strongholds and how do I defeat them?
Strongholds are fortified territories controlled by CPU teams that require multiple attacks to capture. Each stronghold has a specific number of fans (defense points) that must be reduced to zero. Attack with more fans than the stronghold's defense to win the territory and earn rewards. Some strongholds contain hidden rewards or are required for map completion.
How do I find hidden rewards on Conquest maps?
Hidden rewards are scattered across most Conquest maps in seemingly empty territories. Capture every territory on the map to ensure you don't miss any hidden packs, stubs, or XP. Our individual map guides reveal the exact locations of all hidden rewards to help you maximize your earnings from each conquest.
What's the best strategy for completing Conquest maps efficiently?
Focus on capturing territories that provide reinforcements first, then systematically work toward strongholds. Plan your attacks to minimize the number of turns required. Prioritize map objectives over total territory capture unless going for 100% completion. Use simulation for easier battles to save time, but play manually for challenging strongholds.
Do Conquest maps expire or can I take my time?
Most Conquest maps are permanent and can be completed at your own pace. However, some seasonal or promotional maps may have limited availability. City Connect maps typically remain available throughout the season. Check the in-game timer or our guides for any time-sensitive maps to prioritize accordingly.
Can I replay Conquest maps for additional rewards?
Once completed, most Conquest maps cannot be replayed for the same rewards. However, you can restart a map if you want to try different strategies or if new objectives are added. Some maps may receive updates with additional goals or rewards throughout the season, making them worth revisiting.
