You cannot play the game without the models there is no counters only option so I guess you will be waiting for modding, I recommend doing push ups to pass the time.
My point exactly
At least I will be fairly buffed up for all the clicking needed!

The question is then, why even have animation speed match game speed?
I don't believe there are any animation differences in EU4 pending on the game speed?
Aye, sorry, that was exactly what I was saying, sorry if I wasn't clear (as in I was saying the Civ series has a toggle for animations, so it's been done before in similar-'lokoking' games)

Sorry about that, I got lost in the brackets after that part of your message
And that remark of mine wasn't really aimed at you, even if you were quoted for mentioning Civilization series. It was a bit of a clumsy attempt to celebrate the glory that is giving players options 
Or just expressing his opinnion and giving feedback. Sometimes one can even do both. Or one could make a war game with silly (ridiculous?) icons and animations.
Go figure.
I know sandman would dislike this even more than jumping jacks...but I personally would love to see the panzer unit training animations to be this.
Apart from the humour, it also allows me to instantly identify that the training unit is armour.
Other possibilities:
* Paratrooper packing his chute,
* For units on R&R, Soldier sitting down and drinking (I really like this suggestion from elsewhere in this thread),
* Cavalry brushing down his horse,
Podcat, I would pay for a DLC with this stuff in it.
All this fancy funny stuff should indeed be a DLC, instead of the NATO counters
What's wrong with him asking for these? Have you not mentioned things you would like?
Did I say there is something wrong with it? I specifically agreed with him, that is some proper DLC stuff right there! Extra stuff for flavor.
On a further note, I'm all for options to play a game according to how one feels like. I just feel the NATO counters as a recurring feature throughout the franchise should have been made available on release. That does not equate to me saying there should be no models or animations for those who like them.
Podcat has already stated NATO counters would be in at release.
Maybe I misread your post as to me it seemed like you were saying a pure NATO counter should come before what he asked for.

Hold on a minute! Podcat has actually said that about NATO counters? Really? Can you provide a link for a mere mortal like me? My faith has been restored a bit!
I wouldn't say such a thing, I'm not a dev so I have no authority to say what comes with what priority. I was just lamenting the fact (?) that had been floating around, that NATO counters would be a DLC. And in this regard, I was saying that all the extra fancy stuff (you know, the really tongue-in-cheek stuff) should indeed be a DLC for those who want it, like Willbry was saying.
Someone getting fancy animations and me getting NATO counters are not mutually exclusive in my world
I love options.
Thank goodness. NATO counters are really interesting and nice to look at.
Sorry about that, I got lost in the brackets after that part of your message
No worries, I can get a bit bracket-happy at times :unsure:. I'm deffo a fan of options where sensible, and it 'feels' (ie, I don't know anything about animation programming, so I'm guessing) like it'd be a relatively easy one to option
.
Oh, don't be like that. I have faith in our dear Had a dad for delivering us from the darkness with a link to this joyous statement.
Think I'm in for a rude awakening? Then again, it could be a mix-up in communications, as counters (the stuff visible in current screenshots) != NATO counters.
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?
No, I really like the NATO counters. Look at what BICE has done with them. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?832835-Sneak-Peek-BlackICE-v7.50
The reason I got inot HOI was after looking at a book that showed battle formations with NATO counter. It was utterly fascinating.
