The boyhood dream . has come true ! <| sep |> Ever heard of Wormblaster ? <| sep |> People are employed but not doing physics . <| sep |> I live in Soldiner Kiez , I have seen more trouble in Kreuzberg especially Kotti than here and I really have trouble understanding it . I have not seen an ounce of trouble here and everyone seems pretty happy living here <| sep |> The reasons for expelling the Jews , aside from at least one events chain , are pretty much exclusively for a gold boost , and to avoid repaying the debt to them after you ' ve borrowed 300 gold . Having the Jews means you might get Jewish courtiers appearing in your court , who normally make really good councillors and having Jewish councillors can give you tech . Expelling the Jews gives you more gold , but a negative tax modifier , occasional events making you lose tech development , and means you can ' t get the positive events . So it ' s generally bad and to be avoided , but there are a few exceptions . Sometimes getting the cash now can mean winning a war . The penalty for having expelled the Jews is worth it if it means winning an extra county , or not losing one . Also you can manipulate it so the penalty is pretty minimal . Once the Jews are expelled , you can ' t welcome them for 20 years , or until you have a different ruler . So , if you think it ' s likely you ' re going to die soon you ' ve just contracted the Black Death , or you ' re an infirm 65 yr old etc , then taking a loan and expel the Jews can make sense . You get 5 yrs of income 300 gold . When you die and your heir inherits , welcome the Jews back and pay 2 . 5 years worth of income . You ' ll have had 2 . 5 years of income 300 gold with penalties lasting just the time it took your previous character to die . Of course , if you do this you ' ll doubtless survive your terminal illness and live to be 90 while your genius heir dies of food poisoning , but there you go . As to the rationale , I ' ve always looked on it as the same as banishing a prisoner . Get out , I ' m taking all this stuff that you ' ve got in my realm .
