This is by no means a bad game, but making a heavily RNG-dependent BotD can lead to a lot of frustration. An excellent run can easily be killed by a single bad RNG roll on the enemy army. The other badge would have been a great BotD though. The tips provided in previous comments did help and get me a victory after five or so attempts, helped by the absence of enemy minotaurs.
If georgiimo's save didn't work for you, maybe reload the game and try again, as that worked for me. I also didn't include the final newline of the text, though I don't know if the game's base 64 decoder cares about that.
