Pilums should be used mainly for throwing due to their lead head that bends on impact of the enemies shield. It'd be better to see them fight with proper spears / gladiuses?
Thats wrong.. when a pilum was thorwn and got stuck into the ground , very deep, when a enemy tries to pick it up again , the top will drop and the pilum will break.
Fighting is not main purpose of this game. Roleplay, Roleplay, Roleplay!

Obviously this game can't be that realistic, since the pila breaks on impact to prevent it from being thrown back

@DALLASot , tho, it was a great melee weapon and it was stable as hell. when in combat they used to swing with it to cut.

Apparently, it's some sort of Germanic ritual before battle. :)
