What is the relation between Ironclad and Stardoc?

Stardock is the game's publisher and Ironclad is the developer. We've been exchanging ideas on the game, but this is an Ironclad title.

a stupid question if this is a ironclad game why is stardock fielding most of the questions.

i would think the ones making the game would have all or most of the answeres more so than the ones paying for it

Because I'm an attention-monger who has delusions of grandeur and self-adulation.

Seriously, though, it's so Ironclad can focus on working on Sins. We chat almost daily with one another, so we're on the same page. At the end of the day, Sins is a team effort all around. 

It's a team effort  - we provide Stardock with all the information they need to help out with Sins' public presence so we can focus on development. When they don't have an answer they ask us and post the response on our behalf.

that is what i thought but i am just a big bad person

yes... yes you are.
