A little something for the devs and Brad!  You guys deserve this at least

it's a good song too!

Good song indeed

I have to agree with the reviewer.  I stayed up till 2 in the morning playing it.  I was dumbfounded when I saw I played it for six hours.  I thought it was only 10 pm, not 2 am.  Just like in sins of a solar empire.  Stardock should change its name to digital crack.   hmmm, I should remember that, it would be a good name for a band.

Yes, it's like Crusader Kings II for me as well, in that respect.  Because instead of offering endless repetition slightly shaded by new gear, it offers a host of different challenges and strategic choices.  I'd prefer if the choices were more focused in some cases, but there's always the lure of "one more move to see what will happen and what I can do, next" thing that really good games provide.

Come on man just one more turn,  you can't leave me hanging!

And then there is a massive amount of potential when it comes to mods.

That's a very favorable review. I'd wait until the first patch, I still find it pretty rough around the edges.

When will we actually hear about a patch?

Derek's put up a post about creating a changelog, but the patch itself won't be this week.

Nope haven't seen it. Still user reviews taking the pace.
