Perk effects
Decrease the amount of Trimps needed for each Coordination by 2% (with base being 25%) compounding.
The stats gain for each Coordination stays the same, however.

"Use knowledge gained while studying Coordinated Bad Guys to reduce the amount of Trimps required per level of Coordination by 2% of current amount (compounding), while keeping the stat bonus the same."

Effect

Each level decreases the amount of Trimps required to buy Coordination by 2%, compounding. The base amount (without this perk) is 25%.

With the first level in this perk, that amount will therefore be 24.5%.

The decrease will not be noticeable immediately in a new run, as the amount of Trimps is rounded up for calculations when necessary. Consider this example:

The player has 1 Trimp, and buys his first Coordination. Without the perk, the increase to this 1 Trimp is 25%, with level 1 the increase is 24.5%. But because the value is rounded up, the end value is 2.

The stats gained from each Coordination, however, are not decreased, and counted as if the reduction never happened (which can be observed in the stats breakdown of trimps health or attack, in the Soldiers section).

Due to the rounding in the calculations, calculating the required trimps for coordination upgrades needs to be simulated (for coordinated level 1 see below). The coordination level at which coordinated allows for the purchase of an extra coordination can then be found in the simulation (for coordinated level 1 it is coordination level 75). As rounding is less important at a high coordination level, the subsequent levels at which extra coordination is allowed can be calculated by:

log(4/5)/log((1+0.25*0.98^n)/(1.25)) | where n is the coordinated perk level

This leads to the following:

Coordinated level	First coordination level with an extra coordination	The levels between subsequent "extra coordination"
1	75	56
2	46	28
3	33	19
4	28	14

E.g at coordinated level 2 you can buy an extra coordination at coordination level 46 and again every 28 levels (74, 102, 120 and so on). Hence, at level 120 you will be able to afford 4 more coordination levels with coordinated level 2 than if you had 0 levels in coordinated.

Simulation of coordinated level 1:

Coordination level	Required trimps without coordinated	Required trimps with coordinated level 1	Percentage decrease of required trimps at coordinated level 1
0	3	3	0%
10	72	72	0%
20	696	690	1%
30	6.51k	6.23k	4%
40	60.65k	55.79k	8%
50	564.84k	499.23k	12%
60	5.26M	4.47M	15%
70	48.99M	39.97M	18%
80	456.28M	357.59M	22%
90	4.25B	3.2B	25%
100	39.58B	28.63B	28%
