The Tactics training room is one of the most state-of-the-art training facilities in the world. At 8,000 square feet, it is located in the basement of Tactician's Tower, its size far exceeding the rest of the Tower. The large size allows for freedom of movement in battle situations, giving the feel of an actual battlefield environment. The room creates hard-light projections that can do physical damage to combatants inside the room. The intelligence and power levels of the computerized opponents vary based on the difficulty setting in the control room. In all difficulty settings, the computer offers mistakes and ways to improve.
Blue Level: The opponents aren't too bright, and their weapons/attacks only leave a stinging sensation. The entire scenario would be non-lethal, and serves as a warm-up for the more experienced hero.
Green Level: The opponents are stronger and smarter, and they have a slight increase in speed and reaction time from the blue level. Their weapons and attacks could leave burns, but no permanent damage can be done at this level.
Yellow Level: The medium setting in the training room, this level could leave some scars on the unsuspecting hero. This level is closest to the actual ability of gangs, street thugs, and sometimes, crime lords with no superpowers. The hero who engages in this level should be wary of being outnumbered with several projectile weapons, such as rifles, guns, and occasionally the laser blaster. This level also introduces a stealth mode where the hero must sneak around and gather intel, as in a real crimebusting simulation.
Orange Level: The orange level is nothing to sneeze at. It is the most powerful free-loaded setting, and can cause hospitalization to anyone who isn't paying attention. The weapons are realistic and powerful, and can do permanent and painful damage to those participating. This level also introduces the WarSim function, where heroes have to be wary of attacking teammates as they engage multiple enemies in a massive battlefield scenario.
Red Line Simulation: The mother lode of all training simulation levels. This level is deadly, and could easily kill anyone who isn't equipped to handle it. This is the only simulation that is prohibited; only council members are authorized access to this level of training. The weapons pierce armor, massive explosions take out enemies, and supervillain energy attacks abound. Only on this level is Positron an available adversary.
