Gathering Storm includes Rise and Fall features?

As title says, I bought Gathering Storm because I did not necessarily like Rise and Fall, but i see things like loyalty and eras are carried over. If those are now part of the overall game, why bother buying Rise and Fall?

no reason other than wonders and civs if you havent bought either one

Well, I didn't have either one before, but now I have Gathering Storm. So basically I can save a bunch of money but not buying Rise and Fall since all of the features of it are already in Gathering Storm? I don't really care about not getting a few civs.

Unless you want the civs/wonders/scenarios then no, all the gameplay stuff comes with GS.

I'm not sure whether you would need R&F for multiplayer against others using it but that is possibly the only major issue.

If R&F is enabled in the MP game, then yes, you need it as well.
I assume because of the civ's, maps, wonders, scenario's etc that otherwise would be in the game.
