*bumpity bump*
Send 4-5 farming waves with your best heroes to hit the 10. Then spam the npc with 15k archers, 20k wars, 5k scouts. Can be done with 1 city for any npc 5miles out.
Or time 45 waves to hit with 5 secs from 5 cities. With this you can hit any npc.
Hit npc with good hero 93k archers 7kscouts
timed behind that 80kphract 15k cav and 5k scout then timed after that 95k cav 5k scout(times 8)*.
Then when 95k cav and scout return send them again without phract and archer wave till city is capped. I have used this method upto 35 miles away any further i take multi 10s around me and send from a few at once.
*nB can be as little as 35k cav 5k scout

Not effective attacking npcs with cavs. Yes they do the job quicker but by not sending ponies you get 11k abatis to use as you want. Plus, cavs are expensive to build compared to warriors.
I agree that the cost effective may be high, but for players who has a great economical or resource setup, it is nothing to us. We can field and replace phract at will, and even faster with cavs, however, for other players, it is true that it is costly and timely to replace.
The benefit of using cavs/phract to cap a 10 is debateable, but in my case very useful for long distances capping, specially if its 1-2 second instant capping. There are many different method in capping or 1-2 second instant capping a 10, by using horse unit, mix unit including phract ,or other means that may involve a second or third player, but primarily loso player and it is just as effective if not more. This is what makes evony such a great game with its near unlimited varieties of strategy at your disposal.
The record for the least waves to my knowledge is 28 wave of mix wave consisting of archers and melee unit ( foot soldiers ), done by my good friend Browny, i have finally repeated and nearly broke a 27 wave unfortunately one hit was a -3 instead of -4 which pushed the amount of wave to 28.
However, if we are talking about phract and cavs, we have done it in a much less waves, but i won't elaborate on this method as we are currently maximizing full use of the phract and cavs combo via heros and other means.
I won't tell you how it is done but i will share you you some general idea on how it is done so you can experiement on it, and it is possible to cap it with 27 waves, i just too lazy to try it.
Here is the tip.
Observer what type of unit does the most drop to the loyalties per wave, there is some talk of higher attack Hero, higher attack unit and a certain mix combo, i wont comment on this, i want you to have fun figuring things out.
Keep in mind that at certain level the loy reduces it maximum loyalty drop, at a a certain point, or by limit defensive troops to kill or wall defense, however it is still high enough to give you a 28 waves if you did it properly.
As far as i know the maximum loyalty drop is -4 to -5 depending what is used, capitalize on this before it is drop to the lower bracket.
Hope this helps you, i dont want to give too much detail, because giving out detail spoils players to just follow the instruction, but for you to figure it out is more rewarding than being handed down the information.
I would like to comment on warriors after the a few spear head, this is cheap and effective way for capping nearby 10, something i abuse alot.
Have fun all.

I dont know what you are doing wrong, I never count but it must be in the order of 23/24 and could be as low as 21 if from multi cities
90 to 60 at 5 loyalty per hit = 6 hits
60 to 0 at 4 loyalty per hit = 15 hits
prodigy, build a bigger hero and you wont mind the loss of a few cavs when i go raiding i take 1 mil cavs along just to cap 10's and hop across the state, and you can build your poli hero up to build walls later, so dont worry about the abitis

i cant believe this post
why burn cavs when warriors work fine? takes warriors 2.5 mins to attack 1 mile, cavs 40 seconds, few mins? what if youre capping from 100 miles out
and this is the epici dont even know what to say in response to this, if you ARENT leapfrogging 10s YOU sir need to think a LOT more about your planning
