2) Go as LATE in the turn as possible.

3) Play Diplomatic Coup if any player establishes a Tie to an area
   in the German Empire.

4) Perform a Defense Endeavor against any PLAYER who attacks me, 
   spending enough gold to drive their effectiveness to --->  -1

5) Rule in both Bavaria and Hungary once, spending enough gold for 
   an Effectiveness Rating of 3.

6) Rule in each province listed below.  Spend enough gold to get an 
   Effectiveness Rating of 8 in each province.  
   Order is:
      Franconia
      Swabia
      Switzerland
   Use all remaining cards on this step.
