Nice puzzles tarek! I like the new patterns as they have only 21 given clues. The Aries could also be called Mjolnir as it reminds me of the hammer of Thor.
I had a look at Daemonicus #18, SE 9.9. Adding up the ratings for all steps before the first placement in explainer gives 463.8, including 7 steps rated 9.9! Now that's a real pearl! Gonna be interesting to see how ravel's program handles these. Btw. If someone wish to crack this puzzle with propositions, I don't recommend starting from box 7. Not a single candidate can be eliminated from that box using propositions with SSTS. In box 8 two eliminations can be found, in box 9 three. Most possible eliminations in the starting grid seems to be in the empty box (from r1c3 5/7 candidates can be eliminated). Wonder why this is... Box 7 is very hard to make eliminations in, even after making all possible eliminations with SSTS propositions in boxes 1, 2 and 3 there is still no available elimination in box 7.
If you want to reach the solution fast and don't care about the aesthetic value or proving uniqueness of your solution, one way to solve it would be to make the available eliminations in r3c1, r3c4 and r3c7 (7 eliminations) after which r9c9=1 is a backdoor with one hidden pair.
