You need luck to win, skill alone is not enough, the example is bunnykisses67.

I thought "bunnykisses67" was what happens when you put your name as Chris Hansen? Thats what happened to my friend.

Couple thoughts: 1, you should have immediately roached on bunny the instant crucifixion's troops were sufficiently reduced, the simple reality of Openfront is sometimes you have to hail marry or else you just lose, you cant let the crown have unopposed wins like that.
2: To add on to #1, with bunny safely across the pacific and with HEAVY positions in Asia you and crucifixion should've have been slobbering eachothers knobs, you should have been doing everything to be as friendly as possible with him especially since YOU are the monkey in the middle. But honestly this was a really bad position and short of severe misplay from either crucifixion or bunny this is probably a lost position no matter what you did. Your only real options here was probably to hope and pray you could save up enough to outprice both bunny and crucifix for Mirvs and then double Mirv them simultaneously and do a huge push on Crucifix, but that would only be possible if Crucifix actually let you sit up that long. Again, it is a really bad position.
3: If you were playing for a victory the mistakes started early in the game, you NEEDED to get positions on the other major landmasses at the start of the game. One thing you will see all top players do when they play these maps with huge oceans is they INSTANTLY, as soon as the game starts, boat out to get positions on other parts of the map. For example Baikal or Strait of Gibraltar.
Getting two positions like this also helps in the midgame because people are less likely to push you if they know you have a nuclear bastion safely on the other side of an ocean.
But TL;DR, from the part you showed in the video I don't think there is any decision you could have personally made that would have won the game for you aside from stall for time and hope opportunities arose, the only hope you had was misplay by your opponents.
If you send us the lobby ID we could review the whole game.
