So I just had a game where I played Teutonic Order, my goal was forming Germany. Played with D&T mod

I followed the missions, made Pskov, Moldavia and Riga my vassels pretty fast.
England then annex Pommermania and took those provinces from England and got the free cores.
Beat up Poland/Lithuania, took some of north Poland made Lithuania my vassal
Then with Austria I beat up Bohemia and made them release Silesia and made Silesia my vassal.
Then Claimed Throne on Brandenburg and was lucky to inherit them pretty fast.

By now about 100 years had passed.

I was made Emperor of HRE !
Made the rest required provinces my vassals and used missions to diplomatic annex and get cores on them.

Then disaster stuck, Austria got a personal Union with the leftover of Bohemia who was 2/3 of its normal size.
then not even 10 years later Austria got a personal Union with Bosnia, who had all of Balkan and Greece :S

I continued to make the rest of Germany my vassals and annex what I could.

Austria then forced Bosnia to intergrate AND inherited Bohemia.

The status now is:
1622
I made Germany and got all the german provinces except the Austrian and Bohemian ones.
Lithuania is my vassal together with Netherland both are their default Size.
I got an Alliance with Italy (it formed and got nearly all of Italy, not the 4 Austrian owned provinces)
Alliance with Russia (Formed and look like Russia of today)

France is long gone.

against:

Austria, who own part of Venice and Aquelia, Bohemia, Poland, Balkan, Greece and most of Turkey.
Austria got Aragon as only ally and Aragon only got 4 provinces.

According to the ledger Austria can field a army who are double the size of mine and I got maxed army sliders
We are close in tech, I am only very slight ahead, got all the great army NI, ready to fight Austria!

Still I can only field 780000 against Austria's 1500000 ! 1 million 500000!!!!
Italy around 200000 and Russia around 500000

Never seen such a strong Austria before :S

Does Death and Taxes use DW?

If you decline a CtA in DW5.1 you definitely lose your alliance with them, and as far as I know mods can't change that.

Yes.

Fuck yes.

As Tver.

And I'm unsure if this is because I put High Aggression down to Normal, but GH only attacked me ONCE. Usually by now I'd expect to be attacked like, every possible chance. Granted Lithuania has been on their dick the entire game, and I was/am allied with Poland the entire game so....perhaps that is it.

EDIT: Now is where I make a choice. Do I take National Conscripts? With Death and Taxes it's pretty god damn good, +50% manpower, +33% Forcelimits and Regiment Recruitment time. HOWEVER, I lose a substantial amount of Discipline -- 20%. Not sure if worth it. I don't really got the economy to field a -massive- army yet, but hopefully as I core a bunch more of my territories in the coming decades that will change.

Hm.

Gh will attack you every 5 years as long as you have a border with them and are not paying tribute or a vassal of them, completey undepending on aggressiveness. They don't even have a choice. Unless D&T changes something with horde mechanics, i am not really into mods, maybe i should start once i am done with the achievements.
