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!

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

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, for match options, change empire to English, change starting resources to maximum (as the ability uses 25 wood, or go cut down some trees), 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), 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 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.

- 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.
