Is it possible to add a special attack (in this case wounding arrow) to a normal unit (in this case a Mirkwood Archer)?

I am just gonna do this for the individual unit, not a whole horde.

Also, when making a map in worlbuilder, if a single unit is added, their commandset doesn't... umm... function.
For example, they have no option for ugrades or abilities, and the stance button it there, but it is unable to be changed. Any idea on how to fix this?

I have tried using scripting in worldbuilder, but failed. Is there a (relatively easy i hope) way to accomplish this in coding?

Check out the Haradrim Archers' "Barbed Arrows" and the Men of Dale's "Black Arrows" powers...I think those are what you're looking for.

I don't know. I learned nothing after going through their respective ini files... I don't know how to add the new button or anything. And in the men of dale ini, i saw nothing about how to change to black arrows.

Yes, I have heard that it is easier with a mod. The only problem is that I don't know how to make a mod, and I only want to make a few maps. Also, I do not know how to go about making new objects using a map.ini...
