A few simple suggestions really. I'd greatly appreciate when in direct control of an adventurer and wrestling to be able to choose which direction I throw an opponent. as it stands the random direction that gets chosen sometimes has the chance to toss your adversary directly into your own personage, knocking the both of you over in an impressive display.
That being said I'd also be keen on the ability to lift prone (or otherwise gripped ) individuals over your head and move with them. Who among us WOULDN'T like to lift an unconscious foe and toss him spiraling down into a raging river? Maybe implement a body slam that factors in your weight versus the creature your attacking? I could see giants turning dwarves into a fine mist, like they need any help there. Not to mention with a mix of choke holds and carrying, you could get missions to actually abduct or otherwise bring someone in for justice, rather then being a globe trotting assassin for good.
I've also thought about say, the difference between pikes and spears. And given that pikes are tremendous in length when compared to the average spear I would suggest making it a two tile weapon, if at all possible. Only able to attack with a stab if your foe is a sufficient distance away, yet the added range in which you could deliver a strike evening it out. Dwarves behind fortifications delivering a healthy helping of iron to invaders anyone?
If what exactly a creature can reach given its size in comparison to its foe is ever put into the works I could see pikes and lances or the like being the weapon of choice when going up against the more massive of foes, yet less optimal when you're up to your eyeballs in goblins.
