Ouch... how hard is it on 100% difficulty? i am fearful it might be tough especially considdering the need to deploy security all around

If you have shock towers (or some sort of aoe like lucifer), trivial. If not, you may have to accept something like just huddling a huge number of snipers/soldiers close to command center then rebuild after you deal with the infected. If you have wasps/ballista those might just be enough if you build them all around.

I got both shocks and lucifers, i am just not certain i can cover every angle in time by day 40... io fear i won't be able to produce fast enough

Do your best, you might surprise yourself. Start by getting 1 shock in each cardinal direction, and then try to make it two by day 40 and do your best to funnel waves into them I don't think they send fatties so shocks just vaporize everything. Have a safety blanket shock tower near your cc which alone should probably carry you if surrounded by walls. A shock + walls around it is basically invincible at this stage in the game.

Just remember to expand to rocks quickly as shocks require 30 stone apiece, and then make sure you have at least 30 wood production to keep up with the constant mills and farms, you can do a LOT by day 40. In another mission I reached 2600 pop before day 40.

Yeah shocks are hella powerful theres just ALOT of open ground to cover. I suppose rangers could be used as bait - either way i am eyeing a few spots i could try and choke them into the shockers. I got this.
