I'd suspect we'll start seeing reviews this month as the game is getting into shape (it's not there yet) and the bugs are going down and features up
. So feel free to wait and read some reviews or the forums to get a feel for it or you can just jump in and get started, atm dwarves are on the cheap having invaded all the lands in force but sounds like they'll be leaving us soon to go smith or smelt in their caverns
