	Tribes Extreme introduces a new tribe, the [[Grievers]], who are a collection of Tribesmen who have left the other major tribes. Unlike the Greater Tribes, the Grievers fight by their own rules and it is not uncommon for them to dishonorable things. As such, they are viewed by the Greater Tribes as something akin to scavengers and pirates.

	In the game's campaign, the "Bone Ripper" tribe of Grievers has completely wiped out the player's holdfast (a military/civilian homestead where tribesmembers live), killing almost everyone. In the Greater Tribes, this is completely taboo - battle is highly structured, even ceremonial - you never attack civilians. The player must first rid his holdfast and surrounding area of remaining Bone Rippers then seek revenge.

==Gameplay==
A major focus had been put on offline gaming and there were to be 24 offline missions (12 training, 12 campaign). The online maps were to be a balanced collection of tournament maps and general multiplayer maps. Additionally, there were to be cooperative maps, where teams can play against an AI team or have AI players join the human teams. Having AI on the team would allow players to leave the base guarded while they were out attacking.
