Hurm.  Given the basic if-it-moves-kill-it basis for the game, I'd
suggest adding two features:

  -- ability to subdue and restrain a character.

  -- slow death forms (eg poisoning, infectious disease, strangulation 
etc).

The rest should pretty well be handled with the rest of your game
supports, especially the tactical comms.
