The problem is that "over many plays" would be like thousands at this tempo. I played up until generation 20 or something and it was still completely random who I decided to kill last.

I tried to kill the ones on the sides and/or that moved around more first, which did seem to lead after ~10 generations to lots of static/slow opponents coming down in an easily-dispatched cluster that could be easily mopped up at the end of each round. Conversely I'd imagine prioritizing the slow ones would lead to enemies that tend to move around a lot.
