This is my first post of a game report. I'm looking for tips on this game:

Note that I couldn't make the "Summon" show up above, but it wasn't used in the game so maybe it doesn't matter.

After some Spice Merchant work to thin our decks, it evolved into a Minion Engine +Outpost game. I (Squirezucco) was winning 3 provinces to one, mainly (I think) because I went for an outpost while my opponent went for Markets. At the end of what turned out to be my last turn, I Salvaged a Province into a Province. The thinking was that my engine was weakening, and "Chris is me" might get double province next turn, but I could still beat them even if I can't province anymore by salvaging provinces for provinces and getting a duchy.
As it turned out, CIM was able to pull a triple province, and eek out a win.
The small question is, "Should I have Salvaged the Province on my second-to-last turn?" The bigger question is, "How should I have been thinking through that last turn to maximize my chances of winning?"
Expert advice on that or any part of the game is welcome.
