How to unlock the Bon Voyage achievement in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Windows: In any game click on the scout you start with and turn on the Auto scout button should pop right away. if you are in a skirmish match make sure you are starting on Dark Ages to make sure you start with a scout.

Console: Start a skirmish with the starting age Dark Ages or later. Click on the scout you start with an hold the right trigger and at the bottom of the wheel is auto scout. Make sure you have the map not set to revealed or all visible to get this to work. If the map is already revealed the Scout will not auto scout. Also when I started my game Auto Scout showed up as being activated by the Y button as well

Make sure with any game that you start that fog of war is on. If the map is set to revealed then there won't be an auto scout button

A minor addition is that it must be the scout you start with. The button is not available on scouts you train yourself.

how do you start with a scout? When I start a skirmish, it always gives me three villagers scattered across the map and no town centre.

What game mode are you playing on? Also try setting your starting age to Dark Age

Hmm.. I am not sure which setting caused this behaviour.. but I clicked on the reset button in the skirmish setup screen and voila.. back to normal.. Gonna leave this comment here just in case someone else managed to mess up their setup ;P

On console there is no Auto Scout.. anything when u click on the scout.
More specific maybe? A photo? A video?

Well as I was playing it on Windows before they released it for the consoles I will have to download it to see how it is on the console as well

Updated solution to include the console version as well. Hope this clear that issue up

I just played the console version as well.. In the tutorial that game forces you to do before you even get to see the game menu, it tells you how to bring up the troop actions menu. It's the same actions menu in which you will find the auto-scout function.

Worth noting you HAVE to have fog of war on (Normal) - If you start with a fully revealed map it won't have the Auto Scout button

Start a skirmish game with any settings on a random map. Once it starts, click on your scout and click the auto scout button (looks like a compass) and the achievement will unlock.
