The more authentic Clash of Clans, however, is translated into 部落冲突 in both CHS and CHT. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans&hl=zh-TW

And Clash of the Titans (2010) is 诸神之战. Clash of the Gods is 诸神之战. Clash of the Damned is 诅咒之战. Clash of the Mages: 魔法师之战. Clash of Heroes: 英雄之战. And tons of more 'Clash'-es with 之战.

@DrunkenMaster Is word clash separateable from the source phrase 兄弟鬩牆，二 ? Or it can't be extracted?

I don't exactly know where 兄弟鬩牆 comes from, Google Translate uses statistical translation, so it doesn't really translate your query, but gives you something that is the most likely based on corpora. But it is definitely not a good translation, based on examples what @NS.X. and I have quoted here you have better options.

兄弟鬩牆 comes from 《[詩經‧小雅‧鹿鳴之什‧常棣](https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E8%A9%A9%E7%B6%93/%E5%B8%B8%E6%A3%A3)》(the full sentence is 兄弟鬩于牆，外禦其務). It is kind of a [Chengyu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chengyu).

I have just added the two examples where I have found the reported phrase. Do they change the meaning of what we have discussed here in any way?

<p>Google Translate outputs for:</p>

<pre><code>兄弟鬩牆，二
</code></pre>

<p>the following: </p>

<pre><code>Clash between the brothers.
</code></pre>

<p>I know it is naive to try machine translation for guessing the meaning, but can somebody help me get Chinese counterpart for the word Clash in the source phrase?</p>
