Partial The Rust/Bevy rendering, UI, and game-loop scaffolding is vibe-codeable, but a faithful remake of a classic RTS needs reverse engineering of proprietary asset formats and original game logic.
What it would actually take: The project must parse the original game's archives, models, maps, and scripts, which requires format reverse engineering from the owned copy. Reproducing the original AI, pathing, economy balance, and campaign logic faithfully needs game-design and reverse-engineering experience. Vibe coding can produce the engine shell and UI, but fidelity work is the hard part.
