It seems that, when I get a lag issue in this game, it is a serious issue. For most other games, if one lags, you simply get a delay in issuing orders.
However, I have just experienced a lag issue where I would lose total control of everything for about 10 seconds. The orders I would give would then just queue up once I "regain control." I could see things happening on screen but no issues could given.
Although I know I have connection issues at times, I get the feeling this is more the way the game is handling lag rather than my connection itself.
