Oriflamme - Rule inquiry regarding Heir situation

Thank you for bringing such a wonderful game to BGA.

In a recnet game, there were two Heir cards, blue and red, with a red shapeshifter beside the red heir. The two original heir's did not score points. The shapeshifter did however, score two points, copying the heir. This is a weird place. Is that strictly accurate? If the there were another shapeshifter copying a spy (as an example) in the line, would that condition prevent the red shapeshifter from scoring the heir two points?

I guess my expectation would be that if you copy the heir, you copy the limitations as well.

Thank you.

the heir's text say " you gain 2 vp if there is no card with the same name".
In your case, what the game has done was correct : there are 2 heir and 1 shapeshifter . so the shapeshifter copy the heir's text, see that there is just one shapeshifter, and make you gain 2 vp
