Conquest is a great 4-player game (it also has a 2-player version). It's becoming scarcer, with the designer passing away last year.
Grand Conquest is an advanced version, adding siege weapons, additional troop types and terrain.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned
Conquest of the Empire yet. Seats 6.
A personal favorite of mine is
Succession Wars. Set in the Battletech Universe of 2025, you can play each of the 5 Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, plus a 6th player in control of ComStar (IIRC).
Another favorite, also sci-fi themed, is
Stellar Conquest (for 4 players). Not too difficult to find, it's regularly offered up on eBay.
Among older games, there's 4-player goodness in
Invasion: America, it's sister game
Objective Moscow: the Death of Soviet Communism (both OOP and pricey SPI titles), and Invasion: America's illegitimate child,
Fortress America (kin to Axis & Allies; prices fluctuate on this one).
