Multiplayer Issues

Well, I decided to give multiplayer a go since the single player AI is a bit too stupid to keep me entertained.
Here are a couple things I have noticed that I don't like.

They took away attacker / defender money amounts. What is up with that? Some maps, the defender has a clear advantage and there needs to be a way to change the denari between attackers and defenders.

What is up with the lag?! :dizzy2: MTW never had this problem, why does RTW?
I thought maybe it was my graphics settings, so I put them to low settings. Still no results, so it's definately the connection. I've hosted many games before and never had problems. This is the only game where this seems to be the case.
It could be caused by other players, so they need to put pings up. Still, I get the feeling it's because the multiplayer wasn't well tested. Hopefully, the next patch will resolve this.

Also, there appears to be a slight bug. When setting up a 2v2 game, I tried making another team the defenders. When I hit the defend button to change it to another team, everyone was selected as a defender and changed to the same team... very strange.
