This is the eight in my "Power of the Knights" series.

This is also the second in the series of Irish Dots puzzles. I came up the Irish Dots ruleset a few days ago and have had a fun time building puzzles around it. This combines that ruleset with a uniquely solvable Anti-Knight puzzle for the Power of the Knights series.
Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Cells joined by green dots have values in a ratio of 3:1
Cells joined by orange dots have values with a difference of 3, i.e. 1.4.7, 2.5.8, 3.6.9
Cells joined by white dots have values that are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Each set of cells connected by orange and/or green and/or white dots (hitherto called a 'cluster') represents a "knight". Each "knight" has a rank of 2,3,4,5 or 6. The rank of the knight must be determined by the solver. The sum of all cells in a dot cluster must add up to the rank of the knight squared. E.G. The knight with the rank of 5 will have all connected cells summing to the value of 5^2 or 25.

A bit sad there's wasn't much to do with the powers but the anti-knight logic was absolutely sublime!
