Can't polearm-type weapons or spears attack enemies from further away?
Pike's explanation:
This allows pike-users to impale enemies at a distance, making pikemen feared warriors even from the back line.

However, if there is an ally in front of you, you cannot hit the enemy beyond. Do polearm-type weapons, including pikes, have the same mechanism as other general melee weapons?

Still doesn't seem to work from what I've seen, unless it only works in tight corridors where they can't path through to the enemy.

I think because the mod is heavily based off of the game Battle Brothers, the authors took the description of the pike from that game and used it here, since the pike looks a lot like it does in that game and you can attack from behind pawns with it in that game. The mechanic is likely not implemented yet or isn't going to be added due to how melee works in Rimworld or something. The multi-tile option might refer to some 'cleave' attacks with legendary or special weapons and such, though I'm not certain since there's no wiki or guide to tell how weapons work beyond their description in-game.
