Normal sudoku rules apply.
Purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
Cells separated by a king's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.

I was inclined to put the difficulty at 4/5, but feedback from testers had it closer to 3, so I'll go with that. Also, if you or someone you know might enjoy a weekly set of puzzles that are a bit easier than the ones here, but still engaging and challenging, check out Artisanal Sudoku. Primarily killer sudokus, often in combination with other rulesets.

Fantastic puzzle! I found myself thinking, "This can't possibly, actually solve" several times before seeing one more little detail until eventually... it all came into place! This was interesting and engaging throughout the whole solve!
