What is Conquest?

Conquest mode in MLB The Show 25 is a strategy-based game mode where you control a team and aim to conquer a map by taking over territories and defeating rival strongholds. It's a unique blend of baseball gameplay with a turn-based strategy system, offering an engaging way to earn rewards while testing your strategic thinking.

How to Play Conquest Mode

1. Understanding the Basics

The game mode is played on a hexagonal map, where each team starts with a home territory (stronghold).

Your goal is to control all territories by taking over unoccupied spaces and defeating rival teams
Every turn, you receive fans (your unit of power) that you can move around the map
You can either simulate or play games to win matchups and expand your territory

2. Phases of Conquest Mode

Attack Phase

Use this phase to take over territories by moving into adjacent spaces
If you attack an enemy stronghold, you must win a game to take control
Simulating battles is possible, but riskier without fan advantage

Reinforce Phase

Move extra fans to key territories to strengthen them
Reinforcing areas near enemy strongholds is crucial before attacking

Move Phase

Relocate fans between territories to prepare for future attacks

Steal Fans Phase

Play games to reduce opponent's fan count
