I cant attack to settlements in my save. Both have a hero in the middle of them.

Had the Dwarf end event happen so I am killing off some dwarf factions. 2 factions have dwarf heros in them, and it seems to make me unable to interact with the settlement. I cant even move my army close to the settlement. The type is Enemy Hero: Lord which doesnt make sense to me.
Anybody found a work around for this kinda of ♥♥♥♥♥ or do I need to quit my save?

I meant to say "2 factions have settlements with dwarf heros parked right on top of them"

I have that as well, from Belrgar Ironhammer's faction (Clan Angrund). All of the ghostly heroes are parked on top of each other outside of Karak Izor. I just can't seem to target them of the city. I've even tried having allies attack the hold and all they do is sit outside doing nothing. This could end up costing me the campaign if I can't take them.

This is a bug that existed since the first game. The second game had a mod called 'colonel be gone' that fixed it for me, but I can't find something similar for WH3. It does seem a lot less prevalent in WH3, though, I've only seen it happen once across 15 or so campaigns. There might be some console command mod that could allow you to just 'delete' the agent in question.

I remember having that issue in the previous game after nuking all of Athel Loren in one turn. And I may have had it one more time, although I don't remember the details. But in all those cases it was ruins and I believe it was fixed by letting the faction recolonize them. But I guess that doesn't work if the settlements are occupied.

This bug has existed since game 2 actually. It happens when a hero and a settlement are at the exact same coordinates in the game, they bug out and both become untargetable.
Game 2 used to have two ways for it to happen.
-First one was due to colonels ( heroes from garrisons) wrongly being spawn on the map at some occasion, right on top of the settlement they belonged to. This was first fixed by a mod, then fixed by the dev team in a later patch. This one no longer exist in game 2 or 3.
-Second is still happening both in game 2 and 3, and that's when a faction that had 1+ immortal hero get wiped out and then resurects. When the faction resurects, any immortal hero that that faction had before getting wiped out respawns right on top of the settlement where the faction resurected, causing the same bug.

The later is also happening more frequently in game 3 because of the way to resurect dead factions (Chaos resurecting dead factions) that is used by quite a lot of AI factions on the map (whereas only the WoC as player used to have this IIRC). So while in game 2 that bugf used to happen only when a rebelion of a dead faction is succesful AND they had an immortal hero, the risk is now quite a bit bigger.

The only way to fix the problem in your game is to use a save parser to edit the hero's coordinate on the map, to move him slighly away from the settlement's coordinate. I've done that a few times in game 2 so I know it works well.

BTW it wasn't a problem in game 1 because heroes could not become immortal.

I've done a little looking, but can't seem to find anything that will allow the editing of save game files for WH3 (I have no real idea with what I'm looking for, but just searching save parser came back for things except WH3).

I was directed to the Console Command Mod on the Workshop and gave it a try, it killed the pesky heroes that were there and allowed me access to the settlement, I'd recommend giving it a try if needed.

Can I use this mod with a save that is already in progress?

I just did and it was fine. It's simple to use as well.
