The "Phog Of War" Sudoku

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
We haven't solved an apiyo sudoku on the channel for too long and we get to put that right today with Phog Of War - a much recommended Fog Of War puzzle!

As one might expect, this is really very original and clever - see if you can work out how to start without cheating!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits will clear the fog from that digit’s surrounding cells. No domino in the grid sums to 3. The perimeter cells of the grid sum to 172. Digits along a thermometer must increase from the bulb end. Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5. Cells separated by a black dot must contain digits in a 1:2 ratio (ie one digit is double the other). Cells separated by a white dot must contain consecutive digits.
