Since ancient greece this tactic has been used to defend againt cavalry and gaurd doors/hallways/roads

right now when you crouch with a pike it looks like you are doing a Phalanx, why not make it so when shifting with a pike it deals damage to anything for the 2 blocks directly infront of you (-3 damage from the base of that pike). Npcs would also be able to do this or there is a new unit for dwarves and orcs (who are the two facs I see really using these) that always has a pike, and is always in phalanx.

This would add some more variation to factions as each one having the same 3-5 Npcs is really boring.
