0.6.0 for Towny 0.97.2.0 +

SiegeWar 0.6.0 is a full release of the SiegeWar Plugin
Changes Since 0.5.0 Improvements Improved the Map Hiding feature, by @Goosius1 Made the default less hardcore: players now disappear from dynmap when in siege zones, or besieged towns. Made the configuration more flexible for server admins. These changes should help with: Mitigating Night Capping: Night cappers, when they cannot see the enemy coming, get a less convenient/relaxed experience. Night cappers can be countered more effectively by surprise attacks/reversals, especially by cross-timezone allies of their opponent. Making it easier to balance the system Server admins can reduce their daily support effort for weaker armies. This is because, without map-hiding: weaker armies are effectively unable to attack anywhere but the front of the all-seeing, more-powerful enemy, and thus require a very delicate system configuration to have any chance of success. Increased the default Siegezone radius setting to 300, by @Goosius1 To make more space for tactical manoeuvres.
