Clash of Clans
In Supercell's Clash of Clans you build a village, train troops and raid other players with your clan. Released in 2012, it helped define mobile strategy games.

Turkish language and Turkey
The App Store lists Turkish, the Google Play Turkey description is in Turkish and Supercell links a Turkish parents' guide. No official information on Turkish voice-over or a Turkish server was found.
