13 Conquest maps in MLB The Show 26 are marked Repeatable — meaning you can re-collect the hidden rewards each playthrough: May Flowers, Mom, Cityscapes, Mexico City Series, April Showers, Egg Map, and more. Completion rewards are typically one-time only even on repeatable maps. The USA Map (when active) is the most-farmed repeatable map in the community.

Certain hex tiles on every Conquest map contain hidden packs or player cards. Capturing the tile claims the reward automatically. The game does NOT show you which tiles have rewards — that's why ShowZone's interactive maps are useful. Every hidden tile is marked so you can plan the shortest route to collect them all without wasted turns.

Rush strongholds. Grab nearby empty territory to build up fan income, then push toward the closest stronghold and play the required 3-inning game. Once it falls, that team is eliminated and their territory becomes neutral — easy to sim through. Sim every other game when you have a 2:1 fan advantage. Most small maps take under 30 minutes this way; large maps like USA take about an hour.

Stronghold attacks must be played as 3-inning games against the CPU — no sim option. Regular territory attacks can be simmed when you have a fan advantage (a 2:1 ratio or better is recommended). Playing on the field is always a guaranteed win regardless of fan count, so if you want a sure result, play the game; if you're confident in your fan margin, sim to save time.

Rewards are identical regardless of difficulty, so play on Rookie for the fastest wins. Stronghold games use whatever Conquest difficulty you select (defaults to Veteran). Drop it down before each stronghold push if you just want to clear the map.

Yes — Conquest is one of the most efficient offline modes for free packs, player cards, Stubs, and XP. Combined, the 15 active maps offer 244,333 Stubs worth of content and 169 total packs. Especially valuable early in the game cycle when card values are still high. ShowZone Pro members who sync their inventory can see which Conquest cards they've already collected directly on the map view, making it easy to skip maps you've already farmed.

Most players should start with whichever map has rewards you don't already own. ShowZone Pro members get an inventory overlay on every Conquest map view — owned hidden rewards are checked off automatically so you can pick the map with the highest unclaimed value to your collection. Free users should look for the highest-Value map you haven't completed yet (sortable in the Maps & Rewards tab above).
