Disregard the question, It's still the same but found out via an event sideroom like the materials but as a green question mark. So if anybody is looking for Cali, or can't figure out how to get her, buy bandit fort maps from store, keep completing them until you encounter the green question mark room that doesn't alter it's icon in close proximity. :'D
In the default 9,0c there is an error in the probabilty setting for the start of Cali recruitment. Open your Conquest 9.0c folder. Now edit this file src\core\variables,gd in a text editor (I use Notebook++) Seach for dungeon_unique_encounter_chance. Change the value from 0.1 to 0.5 . You can set to any value less than 1.0 but 0.5 is reasonable and reliably generates the Cali start.
It's a random room event you find the paper in within a bandit fort. I found it after doing like 5 forts. So it still works, but it's just harder to obtain.
