Somebody mixed up all the noblemen's territory, and the lords are hopping mad! Help determine which lord owns what land and valuables before it is too late!

This is what I call a "Madhouse" (or perhaps Crazyhouse) Chaos Construction Sudoku, in which the regular rule in a Chaos Construction, that each region is orthogonally connected with itself, is removed. I hope you all enjoy this small change.

Put the digits 1-9 in each row and column. In addition, place the digits 1-9 into 9 disjoint regions, in which all digits in a sub-region are connected horizontally. Digits from the same region that touch vertically are considered to be in separate subregions.

Regions may leap vertically to a different row. When the ends of two or more subregions from the same region are in the same column, a leap always occurs. For counting purposes, count the minimum number of leaps if there are more than two ends of the same region in a column.

Black numbers on the border will help determine where the subregions and leaps occur. Not all black numbers are necessarily given. Each side has a different rule and a different clue for their respective row or column as follows:
To the left, digits show the number of subregions and are contained in the rightmost subregion.
To the right, digits show the largest allowed region and are contained in a region of that size.
On the top, digits show the number of cells that are a mid-section (not necessarily the mid-point) of a subregion, and are in one of those cells.
On the bottom, digits show the number of leaps and also see a number of skyscrapers, with each digit n on the grid representing a skyscraper of height n. Higher values obscure vision.

Additionally, a green number shows the sum of all digits that participate in a leap on that column.

Place the digits 1-9 in each white circle, square, and diamond. Each region contains exactly one of each shape.
Squares mark an end of a subregion. Circles mark a mid-section of a subregion. Diamonds mark the end of a subregion, and either leap to the square in its region or are in direct view of the circle in its subregion (or both).

The grey square is even.
