Legions of Regions (Sudoku)
(Published on 12. August 2021, 15:50 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in the green cells form a complete set from 1-9. Digits in the violet cells form another set 1-9. Digits must not repeat on the main diagonals. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. Neighboring digits marked with a black Kropki dot have a 2 to 1 ratio. Not all dots are given. Comments welcome!

I'm happy to report Mark Goodliffe from Cracking the Cryptic solved this puzzle!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

I don't do many puzzles over 2*, but I'm glad I tried this one. Very fun to solve.
I just noticed I've done a bunch of your puzzles before. Thank you very much for making quality sudoku's at the 1 & 2 star difficulty level for more casual folks like me. You're a very talented constructor
Edit: Wow. Thanks so much! I actually needed to hear this today - my confidence has been waning a bit lately. ;-) Cheers!

Nice minimalistic design, thanks :-)
Btw you accidently added the tag for the Anti-Diagonal constraint (which is when the diagonal has exactly three different digits occurring three times). Also the first two icons don't fit this puzzle since there is only one puzzle type (sudoku) and there is more than one variant. See here for more details: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Hilfe/tags.php
Edit: Thanks. I clicked "edit puzzle" and made the changes, but they didn't seem to stick? Do I have to de-activate it first? And if so, will I lose the existing solves and comments?

You do not need to deactivate the puzzle. After you have made the changes to the labels/tags, you must enter a brief comment in the "Revision comment" box at the bottom, then click "Change".
Edit: Done! TY

Edit: Thanks for having a go! :-)
