source of blight encounters not stacking properly

when picking an enchanted "map has a blight encounter" and adding a Blighted scarab that should also add an encounter you always end up with only 1 encounter.

bummer.

I just found out the same thing the hard way. What makes it really annoying is that on the map mods list it says "area contains 2 additional blight encounters".

And all other threads.....(may be more)

Thanks for your report, we'll look into this.

More than 2 months, no fix, no update. Very sad.

Is it fixed or why it is removed from known bug list?

There should only ever have 1 Blight encounter in a map.

We'll be adding special handling in the future for cases where multiple sources of Blight are being stacked so that you don't accidentally consume additional resources.

While you're at it, why not change the wording of the effects that guarantee Blight Encounters. Currently they read:

Map Enchant: Area contains an additional blight encounter
Scarabs: Area contains an additional blight encounter
Sextants: Area contains an additional blight encounter

Change all those to read "Area contains a blight encounter", the current phrasing of 'an additional blight encounter' strongly reads as +1 blight encounters to how much the map would otherwise have, and is almost intentionally misleading into creating the impression that you can have more then 1 per map.

I'm honestly at a loss as to why you would ever phrase it as 'an additional' if you can't have more then one to begin with. Was there ever a time where they did function as an additional encounter as opposed to a binary state of has encounter vs no encounter and the wording is just a left over artifact?
