Aqre Rules

Solve using: Puzz.link / Pzplus

I spent half a day trying to make a tricky Aqre with a diagonal stripe cutting across the puzzle. There was a lot of failure at first, but eventually I settled on this one. I'm still not completely satisfied with this, but it does feel like my journey that day had come to an end, and that this was the final result. And a tough result it is! It will tricky throughout, but the hardest step will be resolving the snakey 3-region.

Thanks to Menderbug for testing this puzzle and its bonus counterpart.
