so i was thinking, what if every continent had different looking resources?

For example, one continent will have one type of looking cow, and another will have another.

So continent #1 would have these kind of cows: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Texas_Longhorn_Steer_Rocksprings.jpg

Continent #2 would have these kind of cows: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/P1000011emaillg.jpg

Continent #3 would have these kind of cows: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Vache_d%27Abondance.jpg

Continent #4 would have these kind of cows: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/British_white.jpg

BUT all different species have the same stats etc. and it's just there for graphic effect.

BTW i just used cows as an example. The mod can apply to all kinds of resources. (except maybe gold/silver/copper/iron)

i dont think this would be possible.

Could be possible - at least the diversity part... You would need to duplicate the Bonus (Cow1, Cow2, ...) with different artwork, but make both (all) give the same resosurce...

To make those appear in separare areas would be a bit messy... There already are bonuses, apperaing on only one continent, so perhaps this mechanic can be abused...

But... is there artwork wor different cows ?
