Attention Deficit Disorder

I wanted to squeeze in as many variant rules as possible with minimum interaction (or interactions that look promising but don't lead anywhere). This is done, quite intentionally, with a complete lack of any resemblance to an elegant solution path. Now pay attent ... hey look, a squirrel!

The Rules:

• Normal Sudoku Rules Apply
• Digits along an orange palindrome line read the same forwards or backwards.
• Digits along each purple renban line must be a set of consecutive digits in any order, and must not repeat.
• Digits along each green thermometer must increase starting from the bulb end.
• The digits along each burgundy arrow must sum to the digit in the circled cell. Digits may repeat along an arrow if permitted by other rules.
• Cells with a filled pink circle must be odd.
• Cells with a filled chartreuse square must be even.
• Fortress cells must be less than their orthogonally adjacent neighbors as indicated by the symbols bordering the cell. The symbols are supposed to be blue but I believe I've discovered a minor bug in sudokulab.net
• Adjacent cells connected with a red X must sum to 10.
• Adjacent cells connected with an aqua V must sum to 5. I'm realizing I should have made it a Maroon V.
• If you're still with me then swallow that Adderall and see if you've got what it takes to attempt this utter nonsense of a puzzle.

einige Regeln sind wegen der gewählten Farben schwer zu erkennen

- That was meant to enhance the ADD experience :-)
Is this any better?

I really liked this one. At first glance it is very much information to take in with all the clues. And then you start to see how you can boil options down to progress. Really nice interactions between all the clues.

- Thank you @RootsInWermland! Very glad you liked it.
