This hotkey is supposed to locate where you got raided right? I can’t think of its use otherwise.
Then we have a big problem. Because unit production is almost non-stop throughout a game, and they trigger notifications (!), we hear an under-attack alarm, hit that hotkey, only to go to a screen with our 10 barracks streaming halbs 
Seriously who needs to look at those? If unfortunate, you might need to hit that hotkey 10 times to locate the actual site being raided.
There are two ways to handle this issue, neither of which is in-game yet, and we can’t solve it by modding:
- Customize what notifications should trigger. I find unit production notifications not useful at all.
- Create a new hotkey that only goes to the last Under-Attack notification.
Ideally we should have both.
This issue was raised before as well. I don’t understand why it got so few attentions:

I am with you, no notofications for unit productions please… Or make it customizable or something…

They could at least split them into to two separate hotkeys. E.g. Go To Last Attack Notification and Go To Last villager / economy notification

Unit production notifications has some niche uses. For example when a monk is created and you wanna queue their return after they collect a relic.
But yeah I’m definitely in support of more customisation of hotkeys or notifications.

It’s almost more niche than go to the place where you found some sheep 
At least for me when fighting for relic I go to the monastery often anyways.

Agreed, just have a “go to last attack notification” hotkey added into the game. I still want to hear my audio cues for when units get created but I rarely would want to go to where it took place and in the event that I do there are already other hotkeys for that purpose (go to barracks/stables/range etc…).

I want to revive this topic, as I wonder if this feature used to work well before DE. I came across this post on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/56h5v3/any_way_to_disable_unit_created_message/
and someone said “Turn off help” could turn off the notifications for unit creations (!!) But I don’t think this is possible in DE. There used to be a button aside the minimap for this function which is gone now:
Unless this is exactly what Tooltip position == Off does in DE options. But I tested and I’m still getting unit created notifications with that off.
I’m really not sure. But ZeroEmpires described it like a super useful feature back then (which pros today rarely mention):
It really shouldn’t be difficult for devs to allow us customize what notifications we want.
