Some of us really like to slog it out. Post those type of missions here.
help once jump Large/ High Watch out for the 2 breakout emitters at the start. After that build a large infrastructure, you're gonna need it.
what is a slog mission? ???
Not really much skill involved, just time consuming and fighting.
O, Ok. So basically all the large/complex one's with less-than preferable space for reactors... that take a long time..
doing Cotters on large/high was a slog for me. I'm not sure how much of it was from my lack of skill, but it took me over an hour game time. So that's like 3 hours. first, and last slog i'll be doing.
Yep pretty much :D
Xing Large/High
Certainly a slog :D

Just played that one, good find. Recorded my first attempt.

the can here L/H It's a tuffy: limited terrain and the nature/location of the titan makes it hard to direct kill.
Chakat Forestw large/high 89.4m emitter in large chamber with drones. Took me at least 15 minutes to manage to nullify the emitter with all the energy I could generate - about 50 - and very little ore. (Maybe if I'd started from the other end of that big chamber ...)
Almighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Large/High
I found the start of this pretty tricky, but the end was ridiculous! This map has no phantoms, but plenty of drones to start with and a huge 177.9 million emitter at the bottom. (No Experimentals!)
It was a great rush when I destroyed that last emitter! :D
Keep some of the crystals; I think you will need them at the end...
Personally, if one were to define a slog as a map that takes an extremely long amount of time without involving much skill - I think you would be hard pressed to find any code map that would truly fit to that description. There are plenty of long maps, and in some cases they can be boring certainly - but by playing properly you can still vastly improve your time, and skill is still a very significant factor on these maps.
I found the motherload...
Possibly one of the sloggiest slog fests ever in the code map database.
down ground run L/H
No experimentals yet it has a titan emitter of 67.6 mil. Lots of drones and limited ore.
The max emitter is boxed in a cave of 15 spaces; it got really dense in there. The gravity is pointed up for some reason. And to make things even more bizarre, you can only build under ground...
Enjoy slogging it out!
Just took down my first Titan emitter, if I'm reading it right, at 113 million. Found in a large chamber with some fields and two other large emitters to be taken out first.
I finally figured out how to keep energy production on steroids on a permanent basis with the crystal assist, was using 110 energy constantly for the last 10 minutes or so.

Was that an exerpimentals map?
And lol I love doing missions that take a long time. I always do missions like those when on a car ride or something.

No experimentals, but I do wonder if I could have beat it if I didn't have omni-directional building.
to paper as Large/High
This is a nice long slog. It has a little of everything in it. Not the cavern of two emitters near the middle, it packs a whole 97.1 mill emitter. I almost think this one is not even possible...or is it? ???
go round garden Large/High Truly fun. Titan in the middle of the map limits the amount of reactor building and the most logical point of attack takes you thru a nasty field with two smallish emitters.
I hope this is a justified "necropost" :p
I had to register for the forum just to post this one, because I LOVE "slog" maps.
bytes source 176 L/H
No experimentals and no surface emitters, so you've got plenty of time to expand if you like to "overbuild" (though I maintain there's no such thing as long as you're not trying for time...)
Most of the map is a nice and "leisurely" set of attacks on ~5M emitters with a smattering of drones. Down at the bottom is where it REALLY gets fun - a good and chunky 175M Titan. There isn't a lot of room to work with either, although I probably attacked from the wrong side. Took me about 40 minutes of setup and attacking to finally get it (after I figured out how to break a Titan xD)

Wow! Now this is what I call a slog!:lagsgsghtgftyndfgrdfoy; Large/High
