RULE SET:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each row, column, and box.
All the lines in the puzzle, colored GREY, consist of either Renban, German whisper or Region sum lines. There are at minimum TWO types of each line. It is up to the solver to determine which lines are which type!
Digits along a RENBAN line must be a set of consecutive non-repeating digits, and may appear in any order.
Adjacent digits along a GERMAN WHISPER line must differ by at least 5.
For each REGION SUM line, digits on the line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through. Region sum lines must cross region borders, they are not confined to single box.
KILLER CAGES: The sum of the cells in a cage must equal the total given for that cage. Digits in a cage do not repeat.
Kropki dots: Black dots are a 1:2 ratio. White dots are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
XV pairs. Cells separated by a "X" must equal to 10, and cells separated by a "V" must equal to 5. Not all XV pairs are given.

'There are at minimum TWO types of each line.'
I assume you mean there are at minimum two lines of each type?

Excellent setting. Very enjoyable solve.

Do all Region Sum Lines in the puzzle have to cross at least one region border? Or is it for the solver to deduce if some Region Sum Lines may only exist in a single region?
~~~~~~
Hi Marshal on Mars, Yes the region sum lines must cross region borders. No single line region. My apologies for not making that clear in the rule set!

Loved it! For me it was a 3.

This one may be a bit difficult for a 3, but I don't think it's a 4. Then again, it's hard for me to judge as the setter. Enjoy.
Also, A big THANK YOU to SKORP17 and PIFF pointing out an error in one of my previous puzzles enabling me to fix it quickly :)
