If you don't provide tasks for your creatures, they'll get unhappy. Building a casino or dropping them in a temple can help out those creatures who are temporarily task-free.

By highlighting a creature, you can see his name, current task, health, and happiness in the text bar at the top of the screen.

While a gem tile is a great because of its inexhaustible resources, don't keep it tagged for too long. Gathering funds is a high priority for your imps, and you might find a horde of imps concentrating purely on the gem vein rather than reinforcing your walls and scuttling away with bodies.

You'll want to get into the habit of dropping imps near tasks you want to get done (reinforcing walls, claiming territory, dragging off bodies, digging out a room, and so on). Three imps dropped next to each other can make quite a speedy team.

Using the creature panel is vital to managing your creatures quickly (especially imps). Remember, you can left click several times (even on multiple creature types) to create a right-click drop queue.

Every once in a while, drop all your imps in the treas ury. That will force them to immediately drop their load of gold pieces (they'll only come back and drop their load off on their own once their little sacks are filled). You might find a small fortune stuffed in their little Obi-Wan Kenobi robes.
