I modded in an Ogre civilization, made them a bit stronger, added a special "club" weapon that Ogre's make and start with, and ventured out as an Ogre Smasher (Macemen).
One of my favorite battles as an ogre was against a minotaur. Two large creatures enter the cave...only one leaves. I was lucky enough to have a few levels in agility and toughness, so it was difficult for the minotaur to score a good hit on me. Still, she started out with the definite upper hand...

Lemathe Evaefeye, minotaur has been struck down.
Imagining the battle between two semi-large creatures was quite epic, at least to me.
Later, I got smashed to pieces by a cyclops one-on-one. If I can find the text, I'll post it.
