Q: do companions participate in tournament? same/opposing teams?

Sure. Family members too. Teams seeded randomly.

Got to the finals with my wife once. My honey has beaten be hard.

Can promoted companion clans increase their tier?
Or will they stuck at t2 and 1 party?

It's extremely annoying the set parts reseted after a successful smithing. It requires to set the same parts again and again.

Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V combination still work.

I feel strongly opposed the idea. There are too few factions.

At the current state of AI development with introduction of alliances the only thing we'll get is 2 blobs locked in eternal war.
Definitely not needed.

Well, in my current playthrough Empire remnants pretty much **** everyone else, while constantly fighting with each other.

That is a very good thing.
If they are constantly fighting, they most likely have lots of low-tier troops. You just have to choose losing sides in their wars and harass them.

They have huge armies.

Huge armies are very slow you don't have to fight them.
Or you can wait the clash of two such armies and finish the winner. Way more fun!

Well, the problem is how the hell am I supposed to get 45 000 gold in just one month?

9-10 battles with 100+ parties.
And that is just loot.
Add ransom money and you can have that sum in couple of weeks.

If you don't like the smithing exploit, you can always wardec any of the Empires.
They are pathetic in military sense and you'll be filthy rich in no time.

Easy mode:
- keep your clan in single party (stewardship skill is very important)
- maximize horse bonuses (cavalry and footmen on horses)
- declare war on NE
- catch their parties (you'll be faster than any of them - easy to avoid big ones)
- sell loads of loot and ransom top-tier prisoners
- you're set for life.
