Another good time is when u need some farms up or something, shift some food to gold, pharoah emowering, and cast it, then u should get major gold, to get your farm building up.

use it when you have upgrade at least 1x, have your pharoh empowering it and have at least 8 miners. Iuse it after I spend the gold on advancing.

I tend to use it when I am going Heroic to stockpile gold for building TC's and upgrades. I find gold comes in at a good enough pace to keep everything else pumping until then... it's when you want to take 2 TC's immediately after aging as well as upgrade your army or get some expensive econ upgrades etc that the extra stock pile of gold is really useful.

My generic strat with Isis is to get the 1st gold upgrade while going classic and the 2nd just after hitting classic. Then I prosperity with pharaoh empowering with around 8-10 villagers on gold. As soon as prosperity wears off most of those villagers go build farms and I queue new villagers to gold. Sometimes I'll use it to 'steal' a forward gold mine later in the game since 12 villagers with prosperity and 2 upgrades eat up a gold mine pretty fast, but sometimes that can backfire.
