Most worthwhile quests in Native?

[Frackenstein]

That recent thread "Deal with looters quest" got me thinking, what quests are the most worthwhile in this game (besides the initial quest of recruiting soldiers and helping the initial village deal with bandits). The ones I like to do are the following:
- lending one of your heroes to a fellow lord for a period of time
- buying (or stealing) cattle to drive to another village to help them bolster their herd (and improve prosperity) as well as delivering grain to them
- assisting a caravan to reach their destination
- destroying bandit lairs
- saving villages from bandits
- delivering ale or wine to a tavern in another city
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. What about you folks?

The only quests I bother to do are all village-related ones to boost relation. (Cattle,Grain,Defend) - All the defend from Farmers in tarverns. And from lords, only Bandit Lair and sometimes, if really necessary, letter. But I also avoid that one.
From Towns, I never bother with it and mostly use the Tavern mechanic to boost relation.

I stopped doing all the quests long time ago. Better ways to make money out there.

It's not about money, it's about sending a message. And improving relations.

Unfortunately there're very few non-aggravating quests. I usually only do wine transports, daughters retrievals, and only later peasants training (but not too late, it can get quite hectic if there's three of them) and bandint hideouts.

Absolutely avoid "kill x bandits groups" and "kill this bandit group", they're quick, scatter soon and can be hiding on the other side of the world in an instant. 90% mission failure.

That's more or less what I see being the best part of some of those quests.

Relations are completely over rated. Beat the game many time without ever improving the relationship with anyone or anything intentionally.
