Could you build this?

Partial A modern remake of Crusader 1+2 can be started with an agent-built engine and UI, but faithful gameplay and assets depend on reverse-engineering original data formats and building a game engine with physics and AI.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a game engine (likely Unity, Godot, or a custom C++ or WebGL stack) and reverse-engineered loaders for the original game's assets and level, unit, and AI data. The hard parts are faithful unit AI, pathfinding, and combat balance, which need game-dev expertise and extensive playtesting. Legal ownership of the assets is also a constraint.
