I bought the IOS version of this game as it was on sale for 99 cents and I have played quite a lot of games of it now with a variety of AI difficulty levels in 2 and 3 player usually.
after reading about various starting strategies and later game strategies, I can never play it just on my own and always seem to use the help button.
I wanted to get in a bunch of games for practice when I get to play it for real, but if I cannot figure out which moves to make on my own and can only get around 30 wealth, then its not going to do much good.

Try forcing yourself to play several games without the help and don't be afraid to lose or make mistakes. The game is one with decisions of good, better, best. After you try that a few times, slowly go back to the help, but consider why the computer might be suggesting something. It's usually to to chain a few turns together to get a building, etc that takes a few turns to see. For sure go for it without help and see how it goes. I don't believe the computer always suggests the best decisions, but it's a good way to learn. Also, start with the shorter game if you aren't doing that already. It's much easier to learn than the full game.
