Could you elaborate on this? What is the difference between
gaining gold passively (if there's no sources of gold for sheep)
and gaining mana passively. We can assume Saving a wisp can
grant extra mana.
Then for wolf, what passive items are there? Claws you would
level and get damage. Cloak would be an ability under damage
tech tree, Aura's would be support tech tree, essentially we'd
have various tech trees so not every play as wolf is the same.
I just don't see the point on passive gold when mana is the same
thing. Also, we are not restricted to only 4 abilities like Wc3
limited. I can let the wolf have 100 abilities if we want lol.

For sheep I was thinking they would get some abilities that cost
mana and that farms would still cost gold, just to separate
currencies, so you didn't have to choose between using one or
the other. I suppose you could have abilities with no cost and
high cooldowns, then use mana for farms, but if you're going
that route, it seems weird to have mana be the currency for
building farms over gold.
For shepherds, I agree that you could probably replace all
passives with tech trees, but I'd be concerned about how much
time people would spend just looking at their options, and how
often they would have to open a menu to tech into something. I
was thinking something like max level of 5, and after every
level up you get to choose one of 2-4 abilities, then leave
passive items in the shops to be bought with gold. I'd also say
that, in general, buying items is considered a positive part of
games.

What kind of abilities would the Sheep have? Assuming they have
abilities you are correct, but otherwise mana/gold are
interchangeable and practically the same.
Once people have the tech trees memorized they won't spend much
time in them. But it could kill game flow opening up a menu or
navigating whatever UI I setup for it.
I agree buying items is positive, but I really don't think
there's room in Sheep Tag for items and leveling up.
I think I'll just stick to the conventional Sheep Tag for now,
and see how that goes.

Some physics-based questions:
Should there be a 'jump limit' like in the current Sheep Tag? I
believe it's 7.5 farms or something?
Should Sheep be able to jump up hill?

Jumping Up a hill: No this would be broken and abused way to
easily. I don't think there should be a jump limit.

Without really considering fairness/balance, Sheep abilities
could be stuff like:
Give a farm + 100 health for 5 seconds.
Move at 5% increased move speed for 5 seconds then move 10%
slower for 5 seconds or maybe move slower first then faster.
Redirect as an ability (cast on a farm to make nearby golems
attack it)
Taunt (like a self-redirect, make all enemies attack you, to
help bridge)
Make all farms in a small area invulnerable for a few seconds,
but then they all die.
You could even have tech trees like you're talking about for
shepherds (harassing/expanding/saving/bridging/monetary
specializations).
Agreed with nmcdo on physics stuff.
But yeah, we are probably getting ahead of things, just getting
a functioning game would be really nice.
