The Power Of The Irish Knights

The Power Of The Irish Knights

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

The entire series can be found here

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!
