(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. actualy i dont think spearmen are a bad idea :P jk
