This Replay shows that Glorfindel is really very important, and I couldnt win without him.
If you play with elves you must have glorfindel, but some people choose Haldir, i don't think is a good ideia, at least it is my opinion.
See the replay and please reply.
I'm elves VS dwarves.

Starting positions: Elves/PG[Nekromyon] - West Dwarves/EoE|nathan - East
Overview:
A pretty bad game overall, with long periods of where the game looked like it was frozen and very little action. Both players were very defensive and waited for their enemies to make a move instead of taking the initiative themselves. The Elven player used Lorien Warriors + Archers followed by Glorfindel and Lancers, while the Dwarven player for Phalanxes, Guardians, MoD and BW's went. The Elven player proved superior in all occasions and he was the better player, which made him win at the end. Overall, lots of mistakes, long periods of nothingness and little action.
Elves/PG[Nekromyon]
Not very good from you, you made a whole lot of mistakes. First off, build your Barracks next to your Tree so your 2nd Tree doesn't have to be spaced further away from your Fort than necessary. Use defensive when engaging enemy units, unless you've got 2 buffs on your units. Expand faster as well and build your Trees at 97%. Be far more aggressive than you were this game, you have to put pressure on him constantly, attacking him from multiple sides and taking out Mine by Mine. Another thing, spam Hobbits if you take the Inn, their rocks beat all units from close range if protected by melee units and their swords owns even the Fortress. Get upgrades earlier as well, you had the money but you didn't really use it. Last, but the most important one in my eyes, please do not use Lindon Horse Archers, their trample is bugged and they are banned because of it from Clanwars.
Tips for improvement
Build your Barracks next to your first Tree and build your Trees at 97%.
Expand faster, you need to get a better economy faster than you did now.
Be far more aggressive, you have to put constant pressure on him.
Spam Hobbits if you can, they are one of the deadliest units in the game and the cheapest as well.
Please do not use Lindon Horse Archers, their trample is bugged and they are banned because of it from Clanwars.

Pretty bad from you as well, you should build your HoW facing your first Mine, which should be built at 97%. Also don't leave your builders next to just built structures, garrison them in the Mine system or send them back to your Fortress, just don't leave them as they will only get killed. Use stances as well, they are highly important. Aggressive should be used when you are attacking a building, flanking, trampling or when your units have two stacking buffs on them. Defensive should be used when your units have one buff on them, are facing enemy units in melee mode, have stopped trampling, are under fire or are travelling over the map (this doesn't count for cavalry, they will slow down). Don't spam too many Mines at once, a good economy is nice, but you need to get some units at the start or he will attack you while you have hardly anything to defend with. Be so much more aggressive, you hardly attacked him, which you should do constantly and as much as possible. Use Pikes + MoD, not Guardians + MoD vs his Lancers, those pikes will protect your MoD from getting trampled. Last, don't use BW's vs Glorfindel, they will get owned so badly while Glorfindel hardly has a scratch.
Tips for improvement
Use stances more, they are highly important. For more information, read this Stances/Formations Guide.
Be far far more aggressive, use Forward mines to put constant pressure on him.
Don't spam too much Mines at once, you need some units as well.
Use Pikes + MoD vs his Lancers, not Guardians + MoD.
Don't use BW's vs Glorfindel, they will be utterly destroyed.
