Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I had a female ruler (Queen of Punjab, Sindh, Rajastan, Kashmir) above the age of 45 in an iron-man game and decided to give her the forge a bloodline ambition.

She had no female children and only a male heir.

These type of bloodlines can only be inherited by female characters, so my ruler should not have had this option as she could not by definition establish a bloodline.

I have now inadvertently wasted my first bloodline opportunity in this game and will have to wait for another character with a much greater prestige value to attempt a second bloodline.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Play as an elderly female ruler (without female children) of a dynasty where the player has yet to forge a bloodline in the same game, that also satisfies the requirements for the "forge a bloodline" ambition.

I don't see how this is a bug. The AI already makes childless characters into saints.

It's unoptimal, sure, but it's not like the game should tell you, "Hey! You're going to make the second bloodline you obtain harder to achieve!"

If anything, it's intentional, since a character can only forge a bloodline if they haven't already forged or inherited a created bloodline.
