In my opinion this could help new players or average players that still have problems or aren't sure with artifacts. The artifacts most of the times have the same effect but that is better with more cities. I will post here a list to know when to get these artifacts if possible when you know where they are, waiting maybe one tile next to the artifact:
Confucius's School: This gives you 2 great people free. Take this as fast as possible or after you got your milestone. I mean, you produce for example 3 per turn. You are 144/150. You should wait two turns and get the school. If you take the two great people before you get your great person you could have problems. If you wait, you have 3 people in the same turn, a really good bonus.
Lost city of Atlantis: This gives you three technologies, as you should know the 3 cheapest. In my opinion when you can get this, you should research all these technologies, first:
Alphabet (20)
Pottery (20)
Masonry (30)
Horseback riding (20)
Bronze working (20)
Iron working (30)
Ceremonial burial (30)
So, you wouldn't get one of these technologies free, that are useless to get free while you could get engeneering. I would suggest to wait the best technologies possible to do this.
Seven cities of gold: In my opinion this is the best artifact of the ancient era. This gives you 200 gold in the ancient era with a cost of 2*1. This would mean 100 hammers free. In the medieval era, this means 250 gold for 3*1, 100 hammers free. You are american? Ok, medieval era, 250 gold, cost of 1*1. 250 hammers. This saves you in case you have no gold, you can rush many settlers, you can rush armies, galleons, wonders.
That gives you 200-250-300-400 depending on the era.
I suggest to get this in the ancient era.
Ark of Covenant: As for other wonders, in my opinion you should wait for many cities. Temples free in every city is really good to get a culture boost. You could wait if you want for 2-3 temples getting a free cathedral, however if you are using Aztecs, this could change really the game. Culture and 3 science for them is really a good bonus.
I suggest to have temples if possible or to get this when you have many cities (for example using romans and having 15 cities.)
Knights Templar: This could be the best artifact if got in the first 10 turns. Having a militia and a unit with 6 attack (8 on hill) could mean getting capitals free. In the medieval era you get a cannon and in the industrial era you should get a tank. I suggest to take this as fast as possible, or if you want, you could wait for the tank having 2 tanks free (combustion + templar)
