Personally I think cav are a waste on a lvl 10.
Gimme 10k ballistas for the first wave and 200k archer & warriors with a thin rainbow.
Easy as pie.

I conquered a lvl 10 npc with a total of 155k archers 300k warriors, and 16k balista
and 9 atk heros with 100+ atk
i also used the war items (peniciln, war ensign, etc)
first wave: 16k balista, 96k archers and rainbow.
second wave: 40k archer 50k warrior
rest: 20k warior 10k archer
total casualties were 70k archers and 50k warriors. no ballista as i only used them on the first wave.
total gains: 6 nations medals and 5 justice medals, all heros lvled up 5-10. the one i used on the initial assult lvl up 15.
the entire conquer took about 1 hour.

ballistas are a waste... obviously you guys didnt see my post.
Thought I'd try to see what would happen with no power up items (war horn, corselet war ensign, penicillin) and a lvl 9 rally point and feast hall.
Heroes were 104-142 attack
Started with 280k archers, 150k warriors, 5500 ballistas and 100 each of worker, swordsman, pikeman and scout.
It took 43 attacks and I lost 65k archers and 15k warriors. 26 minutes from the first hit to the capture.
theevonywiki.com has a guide that you can follow on how to setup, and take over a lvl 10 barbarian city
WooT!
Just took my 1st Lv. 10 city..
I would like to thank everyone who reported/offered advise in this thread, without you I would probably never have had the balls to try this. A special thought goes out to NemoInTheWoods for his post, which inspired my strategy.
During the takeover there were a period of 26 minuttes where the server didn't answer (I was sweating/swearing quite a bit!) but it turned out that the server hadn't been running during that time (No respawns)
Tech: Mill. Trad. 10, Iron work. 8, Compass 9, Horseb.r. 5, Archery 10, Medicin 9.
Starting troops: 131k archers, 10k ballistas, 210k warriors, about 1000 of each of the rest.
level 9 rally spot, so 9 heroes, ranging from 120 attack down to about 100
The distance to the city from my attacker was: 1 mile.
I used a full range of powerups.
1st. attack:
http://battle1.evony.com/default.htm...4f04ea3d5b.xml
and 2nd. attack:
http://battle1.evony.com/default.htm...d4993467dc.xml
and then I waited until they were back.
After this I sent the 9 attacks close after eachother (as fast as possible) with
12-15k arch. and 20k warriors and 1 of each, no workers or mechanics, in the 1st attack and
8-10k arch. and 10k warriors and 1 of each (still no workers or mechanics) in the remaining 8..
It took me 48 attacks to conquer it and my total losses was about
40k archers
50 k warriors
and the rainbow troops of course.
In my opinion very acceptable losses..
I got a good deal of hero levels, and i'm looking forward to the next takeover which should be soon and even cheaper.
I got 7 Justice and 3 nation medals and 2! speakers..
The takeover took 1 hour and 2 minuttes (including the 26 minuttes of server blackout)
All in all a very acceptable conquer if I say so myself. Again, Thanks to all who has participated and offered info in this thread.

actually, i can't see anything from that address but a tan screen.
even when i can read a report screen, it never gives me the scroll bar so i can pull it down and read the whole thing.
so, if you don't mind actually posting what you've done? that'd be great.
