How to unlock the Pass the Marshmallows achievement in Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition - Definitive Guide

The "Setup Camp" ability can be used by Longbowmen within the English faction.

Create Longbowmen from the archery range and use the ability with the 'R' key or click it from their menu. This is cumulative, though easily completable in one match. The ability refreshes after so long.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The easiest method is to build many units and send them on a long walk, having them all selected and pressing the R key, only one of the archers will use the ability and the rest will carry on, once they're outside of the radius the next unit can activate theirs.

Thanks for the guide. Probably worth mentioning the "Setup Camp" option is only available if you perform the upgrade available at the Archery Range. I was able to spawn 20 Longbowmen and have them stood still whilst I enabled the ability on each of them individually; didn't need them to go for a walk! smile

Now the man-at-arms do this ability and no longer need research

Anyone have any trouble with this? Spammed so many times on different levels and haven't gotten it to pop

Yeah, not working for me either. I'm playing Series X and have tried 3 times now, making sure I completely restart the game and the mission each time. I know there's a delay with some popping but I've left this one long enough and still nothing.

You need to do this achievement with Man-at-Arms, not longbowmen. It was not unlocking for me in campaign. Just set up a skirmish and a couple barracks.

Perfect! Tried with Man-at-Arms as suggested in a skirmish and unlocked immediately after the 20th setup camp was completed. Thanks a lot @Seitzz!

Update Season 5: 2023, June 15th. Setup Camp is now used by Vanguard Man-At-Arms not Longbowmen
Create a 1v1 Skirmish
Set the Ai to your team so you are not attacked.
Resources Maxed Age Max (Might as well)
Wining condition uncheck all.
Once in game Use a villager to build a Barracks.
Use the Barracks to make one single Vanguard Man-At-Arms.
Once you have the single Vanguard Man-At-Arms select him and right click somewhere a little distant and have him run.
As he is running select him and all you have to do is hold down the Q-Key until he drops 20 camp fires or rapidly press the Q-Key 20 times and that's how the achievement popped for me.
No need to win the match.

Not sure why this keeps changing so much. Got this one today, in April 2024.

The Scout unit now has the "Setup Camp" ability. Build the Stable to build this unit. Same method as before just a different unit.

Wondering what's up with this one then, there are still unlocks for other people. Also, worth noting you can't do this in skirmish. It has to be in campaign. Not really sure what it could be, I'm not getting any % progress. Tried different levels,, starting with new units, existing ones, spread them out, did them on a walk...nothing

I also had to do it with Man at Arms, started Skirmish in Age 3 (unsure if Age 3 is necessary) and max resources, then built houses, 2 barracks and spit out 20 man at arms. Set them on a way point walk around the map and just spammed the button. With 20 they walk out of the existing “camp” and you can immediately cast again. I probably had to do it 40+ times. Not sure if not every cast registered or the achievement just was slow to pop).

This would not pop for me spamming the Setup Camp ability using Longbowman during the campaign.

User Seitzz has rightly commented that this will work in a skirmish game with Man-at-Arms.

Go to play, skirmish, create game, cn_back for match options, change empire to English, change starting resources to maximum (as the ability uses 25 wood, or go cut down some trees), cn_start to start the game. Build a barracks, train a Vanguard Man-at-Arms, make him walk somewhere (put your marker a decent distance away so your not constantly replacing it), cn_RT to bring up the radial menu and use the Setup Camp ability every few seconds (as long as he is moving).


Thanks again to Seitzz.

Changed YET AGAIN. Why.

As of patch 10.1.48, the campfire isn't on the Longbowman OR the Man-At-Arms.
Scout. Its on the scout.
It also isn't on a cooldown but costs 25 wood, and no longer heals, but increases sight range. (Just WHY)

Start up a skirmish game, build a scout if you don't have one, run him across the map while holding cn_RT and build campfires. The cheevo should pop shortly after 20 but I just kept spamming it.

HOPEFULLY it isn't changed again, and as always,
Happy hunting (>*_*)>

Perfect explanation! Took me 30 seconds after the match loaded.
