Raw area is a very poor metric for how much work really goes into a DLC. There is a myriad other factors: the density of the road network, the density of cities, the size of those cities, the complexity of terrain, how many assets and models have to be made from scratch vs how many can be reused, and probably many other things.

The Balkans have very mountainous areas, the road network is rather chaotic, there is a whole lot more country- and language-specific assets to be made, and amidst all of it a large amounts of border crossings to make, which will eat up a lot of space due to the scale of the game, of which there already isn't that much thanks to the cities of RTTBS creeping in onto the borders. I will not be surprised if making the rest of the Balkans will make making Iberia look like a piece of cake.

Honestly, any DLC after HoR (or even Iberia) will make Iberia look like a piece of cake. It’s either insanely large areas to cover (Belarus,Ukraine, more of Russia) or asset-intensive (Western Balkans, Fennoscandia).

Well yes, the huge mountains area of the balkans will be quite a challege for sure.

Considering all these factors, and the underlying political issues which have the potential to make discussions very toxic, pairing Greece with Albania and Cyprus and/or Aegean Turkey could be seen as a better alternative.

Either that OR Ireland. A UK rework is mandatory for it, but I wonder... now that the German rework is complete, and we are still waiting for Iberia and Russia, there is actually a chance that they can complete the UK rework and make the Irish DLC at the same time.

I think Benelux rework will be after Germany before UK, even though UK map is over 10 years old.

West Balkan, the mountain regions.
Does one wants the mountains, or does one want a lot of cities.

Here is a map I have made containing cities already in game and also future DLC predicted cities. I haven't finished yet (well only finished Ireland and most of WB) but please be aware that im not from nor have I been to Europe so any suggestions and improvements are helpful for the mean time. :)

Thanks for pointing that out. It should be accessible now I think. :)
