There actually have always been rules for war, at least since historical records existed. Religious places were often exempt from attack, for example.

Ancient warfare also often took place on selected battlefields with opponents using equivalent weaponry. Breaking convention, or fighting new enemies with differing conventions are often considered as atrocities in historical texts.
