You don't need to.

True, but christian religion is one of the requirements. You have to be a horde and be christian religious group. If you then switch out of horde government you get eastern tech. So only a valid strat for nations that start as a tribe.

Ah, somehow I expected the tech group change to depend on the specific branch of christianity.
 
The game keeps track of the place and date at which every advisor was created, but it discards the records of those who weren't hired at some point (I assume on their death, but haven't verified this).
 
tech level 0 exists and has some awesome features like not having any military units unlocked. Idk of a way to start like that in the current patch, but you used to be able to with custom nation start screen stuff.

Silesian culture used to be in the German culture group and called Schelsian, to represent the German Silesians of the time. It got moved into West Slavic to represent the Slavic Silesians, and renamed Silesian. Both of these are not historically accurate, for much of Silesia was German but the more southern areas were Slavic.

There is a comment in the code right before the Livonian Order reforms are defined in 00_governments.txt.
It's..."never again". There because there is about 10 reforms defined, which is a tedious task.
Immediately after, the comment "again" is put before the Polish and Lithuanian 1.34 reforms.

It doesn't cost AI any mana to recruit generals so they can technically get infinite Manpower. (5 general recruitments => 5 professionalism => 1 slacken. Rinse and repeat forever).
