    Clearly RPG Maker 2003 is a niche gaming mapping aid, not a specialized cartographic software. So I understand that it has its limits. And I'm not sure what sort of advice you're looking for.

    That said, if this continent really spans nearly pole to pole on a presumably Earth-sozed world then some of your cities are about the size of metropolitan France. (But, heck, it's fantasy, right?) Also, if you search around for River Police input you'll find that a river splitting in two is unlikely. Rivers converge, and rarely split. At least I think that's what that longest river is doing- with one branch into a endorheic lake or swamp and the other eventually to the sea. If that's all supposed to be one lake or swamp then this doesn't apply.

    The west coast reminds me of South America, with an arid strip hemmed in by a coastal mountain range, so that looks reasonable. I'm not sure that the various symbols and colors mean, so I can't comment intelligently about climates, but barring magic or other deus ex machina processes on west coasts tropical forest generally runs within 10 degrees of the equator, then desert or arid steppes to about 30 degrees, and then you might see a bit of Mediterranean climate followed by maritime forest before hitting subarctic climes. If they are high enough your wesy coast mountains might limit the desert from exapnding eastwards across the continent- again, as in South America. Them much of your east coast would be tropical forest to within about 10 or 15 degrees of the equator, then east coast subtropical forest, then laurentian, etc. Check out the Climate Cookbook if you're interested in an advanced primer.
