The May Flowers Conquest Map in MLB The Show 26 is one of the more rewarding single-player grind activities in Diamond Dynasty this season. It looks simple on the surface, but it actually hides a solid batch of free packs and a strong completion reward if you take your time and clear it efficiently.

This guide breaks down all hidden rewards, completion bonuses, and the most efficient way to finish the map without wasting turns or losing unnecessary fans.

Hidden Rewards Across the Map

One of the best parts of the May Flowers Conquest Map is that rewards are not only tied to strongholds. As you expand across neutral territories, you automatically collect hidden packs just by simulating battles and uncovering hexes.

Across the full map, there are 9 hidden reward packs spread through standard tiles. You do not need to complete special objectives or play extra games to claim them. Simply capturing territories through normal Conquest progression will unlock them.

The hidden rewards include:

1 Deluxe Pack
2 Headliners Packs
1 Ballin’ is a Habit Pack
5 The Show Packs

These rewards are essentially “free value� layered into normal map progression, making it worth fully clearing every tile rather than rushing straight to strongholds.

Completion Rewards and Bonuses

Once you fully clear the map and take every stronghold, you unlock a larger reward tier that significantly boosts your Diamond Dynasty progress.

First-Time Completion Rewards
4,000 XP
93 OVR Jim Rice (LF) All-Star card
1 Deluxe Choice Pack
2 Headliners Packs
1 Ballin’ is a Habit Pack
2 additional The Show Packs

This first clear is where most of the value comes in, especially for players building their early or mid-season roster.

Repeat Completion Rewards

If you decide to run the map again, the rewards shift slightly:

20 The Show Packs upon completion
Hidden rewards do not reset

This makes repeat clears more about pack farming efficiency rather than targeted reward hunting.

Efficient Conquest Strategy

To get through the May Flowers Map quickly and with minimal effort, it helps to approach it like a resource optimization puzzle rather than a series of games.

1. Expand First, Simulate Often

Start by spreading into neutral tiles as quickly as possible. These early turns are about building your reinforcement pool, not fighting battles.

Whenever possible, simulate standard territory conflicts instead of playing them manually. This saves time and keeps the pace of conquest smooth.

2. Only Fight When You Have a Clear Advantage

Avoid unnecessary losses by only simulating battles when you hold a strong numerical edge, such as 4v1 or better. Smaller odds are not worth the risk and will slow your expansion.

3. Skip “Steal Fans� Unless Required

The “Steal Fans� mechanic is usually a time sink in this map. Unless a specific objective forces you into it, it is more efficient to simply pass turns and gain automatic reinforcements.

4. Stack Before Strongholds

Before attacking any stronghold, build up a large stack of fans—ideally 20 or more units. This allows you to:

Play stronghold games on Rookie or Veteran difficulty
Win quickly without multiple retries
Reduce risk of losing progress

This step is the key to speeding up full map completion.
