Hag Merchant Not Spawning
I've restarted my campaign a few times now to try and get the hag merchant to spawn, but she only ever spawns on Turn 2, and never again. Has anyone found a fix for this?

I haven't done soup goblin in a while. Are you running mods?

Just fired up a soup goblin campaign, and had food hag initial (quest) popup, and then a 2nd food hag appeared on turn 11 and again on 21 so far.

She'll usually show up a few turns after cooking. If you're not cooking early game because of limited resources, that might be way.

Yeah u need to cook regulary. And i would say she spawns every 10 rounds if u cook.

Cooking regularly, have unlocked every ingredient and cooked all the basic meals, turn 110, still no 2nd hag merchant. Only running recruit defeated legendary lords mod wise.

Try running without the mod?

I tested this without mods. 1 Spawn round 4 after that no spawn.
Seems Buggy.

I'm running with that mod and it didn't affect the hag. This is weird. Have you tried a test game where you go through the motions 11 turns to see if 2nd hag shows up?

Yeah, I've made about 5 games and done the first 20 or so turns and never get a 2nd merchant showing. I might try reinstalling my game and see if that helps.

Hi there, if you are having issues with this on vanilla the best place to report this is over on the CA Forums https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/forums/13-report-a-warhammer-iii-bug Best, CA_Nova

Hi Nova, I've just tried a few times with a completely fresh installation with no modifications and getting the same results.

Turn 1 - Attack Aquitaine, Sack Aquitaine (Unlocking Ocean Clams), Occupy Aquitaine.
Turn 2 - Attack Bordeleaux, Occupy Bordeleaux, Achieve 50+ Scrap, Unlock Blacktoof's Head, Cook my first dish.
Turn 3 - Hag Merchant Spawns, Interact with Hag Merchant, Buy Ingredients from the Hag Merchant, Move to the border with Mousillon inside their territory and enter Raiding Camp stance, Cook my second dish.
Turn 4 - Attack Mousillon, Occupy Mousillon.
Turn 5 - Expected Hag Merchant Spawn, No spawn.
Turn 6 - Waiting an extra turn just in case. No spawn.
Turn 7 - Cook my third dish to attempt again.
Turn 8 - Nothing.
Turn 9 - Expected Hag Merchant Spawn, No Spawn.
Turn 10 - Waiting an extra turn just in case. No Spawn.

I can't make a post on the CA forums as there's an error logging in, something about a mismatch between my Steam Account and my CA Account. I've reached out to support and had this fixed several times, but due to some sort of authentication handshake expiring I encounter the same problem every time I try and use the CA website.

Kept going another 20 turns (30 total), have most of the ingredients unlocked from battles, cooked every 2 ingredient meal I can, waited out the full 15 turn duration of a meal to see if that was affecting it at all. Still no 2nd Hag Merchant.

same. she spawns just once and after that nothing. tried with and without mods, makes no difference.
Father Ribs Feb 8, 2024 @ 9:42am 
Odd. I wonder if it's a specific action you're taking. When you get the initial hag, do you always try to buy a recipe, or have you tried the other options? First hag encounter I usually just rob her or ask for a random meal.
Father Ribs Feb 8, 2024 @ 10:34am 
Started fresh campaign. Initial hag turn 4, bought ingredient. Turn 11, hag shows up again. No mods running.

Do you have notifications turned off? I can't remember if you actually are shown subsequent hags post notification unless you have LOS to their camp.

Is this the first time you've played Grom in 3 (ie: did it work before and not "now", or ever).
