Michael Blake, graphiste 3D chez Irrational Games, rédige un chapitre du carnet de bord des développeurs de Tribes Vengeance chez PC.IGN.
En substance, il se contente de dire que le design des armures et des bases sera complétement différent selon les Tribes. Contrairement à Tribes 1 et 2, ils ne se sont pas contentés de changer uniquement les textures :
The look and feel of each Tribe stretches throughout everything they’ve built for themselves. This has presented a challenge when it comes to designing bases that are fair and equal while at the same time looking entirely different from each other. It’s a challenge that the Tribe’s architects [we’ll call them Level Designers] have risen to.
