Evacuation/Quarantine/lock down

[bleak spear]

If you destroy too much of a town/city or a event (like zombies, radiation, mass prison breaks, ooze outbreak, etc.) occur;

A state of emergency could happen with sirens and what not. Forcing the people to evacuate. Most likely leaving their belonging and establishments unprotected (well the guards will be gone just watch out for traps). of course some people may stay and even invite other people in.

Alternatively a location could be quarantined/locked down with police guarding the main roads and It will be illegal to enter or exit the town/city for a time. forcing you to go through other routes to get out of that place If you can't risk a fight against dozens of trigger happy police waiting for something to happen.

I'd like to think there should be some serious response to you going around and totally depopulating an area

Wouldn't mind facing off against gov't-sanctioned death squads designed to kill you

or something along those lines

Could be a good test of your combat prowess

so

if i killed everyone in a city

the 3 permanent NPCs left would not run away, fight or hide, but would make some sort of emergency evacuation?

I like the idea of the government somewhat sending a kill squad in an area to fend off anyone from that area or city. im just not sure how i feel about if you destroy too much of a certain place, emergency evacuations or lockdowns would happen. we already know that if you do that then the economy and city will greatly shift bc of the recent activity, but a lockdown seems like all it would realistically do is keep the NPCs inside (whoever is left) and you'd most likely still go in and do what you wanted.
