Thanks guys.

The Floris tribe differ in appearance as they are covered in leaves and prefer different weapons.
They differ more importantly in the evolutionary options that are available to them in the game.
In Dawn: Rise of the Occulites, there are basic evolutionary options that are available to every tribe, but then you have the more specific evolutionary options that are only available to certain races. As your Occulites grow and learn, they develop abilities that are specific to their area.
So basically, by picking a tribe, you are choosing a path.
All tribes are created equal. What happens from there is up to you...Cheers,
Ben.
PS. Little Odo, it sounds like you're thinking of the Nimbus tribe - Occulites with feathers and bat wings.
