!!! All black dots have been given !!!
RULES: ALL BLACK DOTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN!
Normal sudoku rules apply - Place the digits 1-9 in each box, row and column.
Region Sum lines (
blue) (
Standard) - digits on these lines have an equal sum N within each box it passes through.
If a line passes through the same box more than once, each individual segment of such a line within that box sums to N separately.
Different lines can have the same or different sum.
Kropki (
white) separate two consecutive digits. Not all dots have necessarily been given.
Kropki (
black) separate two digits with a ratio of 1:2.
All black dots have been given!

INTRODUCTION:
This is sort of part of a "Connect the dots" series I wanted to do, although it didn't turn out quite as I had thought it would. But I still liked some of the puzzles, so I will be publishing them anyway.
Generally they'll have very simple rulesets only using one form of line - either Renban, Region Sum or German Whisper combined with Kropkis.
Some will also have a few other simple restraints such as
Odd/Even.
Most of them will be fairly approachable, but there's a few harder ones! I hope you'll enjoy at least some of them!

Nice, love negative constraints like this, and this is a very pretty puzzle beyond that! Plus, I even wound up taking notes in a separate notepad for a couple of the RS lines.
Phenomenal puzzle.
