I was losing 16 to 44 with 2 piles empty and 1 pile with 1 card in it. Luckily, I had a ton of Cities and a Diadem and a Princess. I ended up with 36$ and 9 buys (plus everything was on sale owing to the Princess). I bought 4 colonies, 4 estates, and the last hamlet to end the game. Final score: 60 to 44
The other player had gone hard for tournaments and had bought TS, Followers and Bag of Gold. This is the only time I have found Diadem more than marginally useful. I think I had +9 actions to convert to $ from all the Cities. I admit I was totally outplayed in this game, but I just rolled the dice with Cities and it worked.
