Rules
Normal Sudoku Rules apply.
Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top left of the corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within cages.
The sum of the digits on a line within a particular region must be the same for all of the regions that line passes through. The different line colours are to clearly distinguish the different lines.

What a delight! A lovely grid to look at, and a beautiful solve path, too. Fantastic setting.

Very nice setting. Had to start over because I had missed one early pencilmark-digit and broke the puzzle. The second time it went smoothly. Thank you.

Definitely a 2* for me. Nice break-in and very smooth and enjoyable. Best one I've done lately.
--Thank you so much. Very glad you enjoyed.

Very fun solve path! I like that while it uses region sum lines, they never devolve to case checking. The cage interactions are quite fun.
--Thank you for the comment. Definitely working on trying to stay approachable.

Adjusted Difficulty to 2/5.. My Estimate of difficulty is between 2.5-3/5

Nice and smooth, I think closer to 1/5 than 3/5.
