I would say it's very unlikely that pikemen would be added, as the new hired unit re-equip feature is supposed to cover that, and we don't want to bloat the unit lists. (Depth is better than width.) Besides, an argument that would then be made is: if pikemen, then why not daggermen, spearmen, axemen, lancers, hammermen, mattockmidgets?

Now as for pikes having additional functionality, or NPCs gaining additional functionality when wielding pikes, those would be far more likely to happen.
