How to Take a Level 10 Fort
Seeing as I haven't seen a definate guide about how to do this yet, I guess I'll make one 
WHAT YOU NEED:
-10-15k inf.
-1 cav (meatshield)
-AT LEAST 12 to 15k cats
-I'd recommend bringing 5 - 10k archers with you, that way they can mop up any remaining cavs if your cats don't kill them all in one hit.
-Max shooting and a good attack stat. If your attack isn't all that great, use more cats.
-You will probably have to use several cities to support this army (or 1 on Enhance and backed up by a full compliment of crop oases and perhaps another sub to hold some extra troops).
HOW TO CAPTURE:
-Find a fort. This one should be obvious enough
-Attack it. Below is a list of what you should do each round.
1) Inf, archers (if any), and cats forward targeting cavs if traps/turrets are present. Your inf will take the hit from the fort's turrets and cats while your cats kill the cav. If the field length is 1350 and you do not go forward, you will not hit anything the first round.
2) All pause, target inf, use archers to mop up any remaining cavs.
3) All back, you can now hit the inf from the back row.
4) Target archers.
5) Continue targeting the inf. Your archers should be able to hit them now.
7 - 8) Kill the fort cats. The inf should all be dead by now. If they are getting dangerously close to your cats, send up your cav and archers as meatshields. Only use your inf as a last resort, you still need them for the traps.
10 or so) Inf and cats to forward to take out traps/turrets. Don't send your archers up as well; if you don't have enough they will only partially damage the turrets and you will lose some from counterattacks.
Finish) Your cats will take out the turrets while your inf clear the traps.
Your troops will then cart home a boatload of resources.
ALTERNATE STRATEGY:
Attack the fort with less cats than are needed to take it. When the inf are about to hit you, withdraw and attack again. There should not be as many inf. (Obviously, this requires coins)
Attack the fort two more times, and it's yours!
