Colors War Sudoku (6x6)
(Eingestellt am 28. August 2022, 11:41 Uhr von AstralSky)
1.Normal Sudoku rules apply.
2.Each color have a few territories (a group of consecutive cells). Numbers on the territory represents the "forces" and each territory contains non-repeating numbers. The total force of each territory is same for a color. (Which means, numbers in each region of the same color have the same sum. However, different colors may have different sums.)
3.Rows and Columns are "battlefields". The clue outside grid means if a war broke out between two colors in that row/column, how many forces would have left. Belligerents: Cell color and Clue color. The color of the clue shows the winner. （Example: Green 3,4 + Blue 1 2 5 = Green 7 + Blue 8 = Blue 1, and the clue would be a Green Cell with a Blue 1）
Lösungscode: The 6th row, from left to right

I suspect the reason this had so few solves is that it LOOKS kinda complicated - and so I bet most eyes scrolled on to the next puzzle.
Once i realized that each section is like a killer cage, and the killer cages of a certain color had to have the same total, it was pretty easy. The numbers outside the grid represent the difference between the total of the colors seen.
The example helped a lot - but i think utilizing killer cages would be even better.
Are there larger versions?
RE: Yes,there are.

It's a nice idea, I don't understand why it has so few solves. It took a moment to understand the rules, but then it's quite easy and a smooth solve path.

Hope the ambiguity in rules is now eliminated :)

White is intended as the background for non-colored cell, so it`s not considered coloring

@AstralSky
Isn't white considered coloring?

Added an example image simply to show how the outside hints are calculated and colored
