I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature request: When a character is hit with an entangle their Strength goes to zero. Then if they get a strength bonus, their strength remains zero and when the entangle wears off, their strength goes back to its original amount and the bonus is lost. ---

It does work that way for both entangle and web. During the time effect is on the troop original value can’t be incresed or decresed. ---
