How to Gain & Steal Fans in Conquest

Fans are the primary resource used to conquer and defend territories – the more fans you have on your side means the easier it will be to take over the map. There are two ways for you to gain fans: 1) Capturing more territories or 2) Stealing fans. For every three territories you own, you’ll earn one fan per turn.

During the Steal Fans Phase, you can play against any MLB team on the map. Play and win games in the Steal Fans Phase to earn more fans. Each difficulty awards a unique amount of fans, and some teams may offer more fans to steal.

Conquest Strongholds Explained

Conquest “Strongholds” are territories on the map that marked by MLB team logos. Every team, including you, has a Stronghold. Stronghold territories are the primary territories where reinforcements come from. If your Stronghold isn’t connected to any of your other territories, you won’t be able to reinforce the unconnected territories. Also, Strongholds can’t be simulated and required you to play and defeat whichever MLB team you’re challenging. Keep fans in your Stronghold to deter enemies from attacking. If attacked, you’ll have the ability to defend it, but he difficult will be dictated based on the fan distribution.

Conquest Phases

Playing Conquest is broken down into four phases: Attack Phase, Steal Fans Phase,, Reinforce Phase, and Move Fans Phase.

Here’s a good strategy to conquer the map and unlock hidden rewards:

  1. Start by attacking territories that border your own
  2. Start stealing fans from the other team’s stronghold.
  3. Use the Reinforce Phase to disperse any fans you’ve acquired fronthe Attack and Steal Fans phases
  4. Start moving your fans around to protect your own territories.

List of Starting Pitchers in Conquest Games

Here are the starting pitchers and their handiness that players will be going up against during any Conquest game. The highest SP in overall on your team will go up against the opponent’s #1 SP, and so on. This way you can construct your lineup beforehand to target or avoid certain pitchers.
