This is a great idea, except that you'd be very much in the advantage
if you knew the possibilities in principle, and that the chance of
winning becomes much more dependent on luck.  Seeing how few games
are played with generator 1, huts > 0, and techlevel > 0 (three
*existing* ways of doing basically the same as your proposal) I don't
think many users would actually play with randomized tech effects.
