Let me see if I understand this. You want the construction of a building
to give a certain ruleset hardcoded tech as an effect?

This is not impossible to add, but the effect value passed is something
other than an int in that case. I suppose one could make the values
variable typed and cast the Tech_Type_id to an int value. Then one would
need some sort of cast system to find out the type of a value and so on.

Like I said, the more features you people expect from the effect system,
the more it will look like a programming language. :-P
