Spear-pike engagement is actually a close order drill exersize.
You can produce that type of troops in 2 weeks intensive training aided by
the stichiarch's stick! A couple of months they probably have team/unit spirit too.
If you are a monarch who can afford to keep them under arms for more than a campaigning season you can train them to multiple dexterities/skills.
Hellenistic "filthy rich" rulers could afford to do the above.
Kind regards
