I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just missing something, but the situation is as follows:
1) I'm playing Mughals (Sunni religion, was originally Timurids). Capital moved to Europe to allow the use of Trade Companies. I have all DLCs.
2) I have 2 Trade companies with 90%+ of the land in the area, both are displaying that the bonus merchant is active in the Vassal Tab
3) I have Shaf'i Scholars active, which should also grant me a bonus merchant
4) I checked the active status effects, and couldn't see anything that reduces the number of merchants (not sure if there even are such things)
5) Combined with the 2 starting merchants, this should give me 5 merchants total unless I'm mistaken, but I only have 4
6) The Shaf'i bonus seems to work, as I lost a merchant when it timed out, and regained it when I reactivated it
7) I assume the issue is one of the two TCs not giving the bonus merchant for some reason. The Shaf'i bonus was already active when second TC crossed the 51% mark if that makes any difference. At the time I had a couple states in that TC area (51%+ of land in TC still ofc), so assumed that might have been the cause. I unstated the states and added the areas to TC as well, but that made no difference. The UI still displays both TCs with the merchant enabled, but merchant doesn't actually appear.
8) Exiting and restarting doesn't seem to change the situation.
