Guards Noticing Reduced Numbers

Explanation:

Guards don't seem to care that all their fellows who were patrolling past them have disappeared. The AI should start to get suspicous, to mention the fact aloud or start to investigate.

Points to bear in mind:

Increases Realism. Guards are bound to start wondering where people are after you have knocked many out.

Increases Interactivity. The player will get definite feedback from their actions and will know that their decisions count.

Makes the game harder, maybe should not apply to all guards all the time

If stationary AI notice that an AI who is patrolling is no longer, then AI cannot get stuck on path finding.

Another way of thinking about is to apply group numbers to anomalies. Guards become less worried about anomalies if they see friends about, as they are reassured by their presence.
