Where does one draw the line?  You can't be stacked with someone
unless you're cooperative, or in a guild.

Either get truer or more competent allies (take that, Dr. Pain :-).

In that case, I would say it's the responsibility of the guildmaster
to maintain a defensive force stacked with the tower.  There,
something for them to spend all that money on!  Perhaps Rich could
slightly modify the rules so that a unit can stack under a guild if
the guild is cooperative towards it, even if it isn't a member.  Then,
the Warriors' Guild could build up defensive forces and rent them to
other guilds for less than the capital investment.  Such defensive
units wouldn't be members, so they couldn't study.
