Not so awesome is the fact that since launch the game has dropped 10 points in the Stream review to 71% positive, so is very close to going from mostly positive to mixed.  Stardock should be a bit concerned that the score has quite falling.

Since 1.1 came out the Steam score has reversed and has jumped 4 points.  Looks like Steam workshop integration was pretty important to a few people.
