Well actually its some random village's animals
(most likely camels
).
First battle was fun though, it was organized but not strict organized, IMO very well representative of a village fight. Good skirmishes all over the map.
I would have way more fun in Strat if battles were at least like this, I personally hate when they turn into people just rushing out randomly (or that there's a total lack of any sort of team play in any regards - at least have a shield wall and try and follow it around etc).
EDIT:Screenshot from the end of the battle (some people already left when I took it):
