This whole idea of getting an early academy is so new to me and I have played 15 times. With this it means you get 3 up the track for turn 1. Are you looking to use all three for economy and which academy is best to take. I want to learn!
Depends on the faction. Sometimes the HH go up to level 4 of economy. Sometimes you will want to get a set of 4 science. Sometimes you will get a favorable layout with Itars and get up to 8 science between level 3 science track and the 1c + 1k tech tile. With the Xenos you can go up on the QIC track and take a 3rd tech tile with the QIC action. With the Bal Taks you can take a 3rd tech with the QIC gains from Gaia Forming track ect. Most of the time though you use it to get 2 tech tiles and to go up on the science or economy track to get 4 science income or level 2 or higher of economy. This level of economy generally allows you to be flexible in terms of the game's scoring objectives.
